Welcome to Rodeo Beach
Tucked away in the rugged Point Reyes National Seashore, Rodeo Beach is a wild and windswept haven where the Pacific Ocean's fury meets the soft, sandy shores of a forgotten cove. This secluded spot is a haven for those seeking a genuine, untamed beach experience, with a mix of sand, pebbles, and driftwood scattered about like nature's own art installation. As the waves crash against the shore, the beach's raw beauty is on full display, a true gem for those willing to venture off the beaten path.
