The Marin Headlands feel like stepping into a different California.
Rugged coastline. Golden hills. Sharp ocean light.
We stopped to explore the area near Point Bonita Lighthouse — unfortunately closed that day. The disappointment faded quickly once we saw the cliffs and the Pacific stretching endlessly beyond them.
Sea lions rested below on rocks. Waves hit hard against the shoreline.
The bridge from here feels cinematic. Framed by hills, floating between worlds.
• Point Bonita Lighthouse has limited opening hours • Strong wind typical • Spectacular panoramic views • Excellent drone location (check restrictions) • Wildlife visible along the coast
