Wall Beach(Point Reyes National Seashore)

Located in the town of Marshall, Wall Beach is a very small and narrow boat-in beach that is a part of Point Reyes National Seashore.  Wall Beach is situated on the shores of Tomales Bay on the north side of Pelican Point – an incredible vista point.  Wall Beach offers a boat-in campground that does not provide drinking water and you must carry all human waste out of it.

There are a couple of fun activities at Wall Beach including kayaking, boating, and camping – you must visit here by boat or kayak to use the campground.

There are two ways to access Wall Beach – one is taking a boat or kayak from Nick’s Cove, Marshall Beach, and Lawson’s Landing Beach, and the other is driving to Tomales Point Trailhead at the end of Pierce Point Road east of McClures Beach and then walking around one mile east to the beach.
