SECRET BEACH & CRATER: ADVENTURE HIKE
Your inner adventurer is calling!
Join us for this week's version of our Big Hike Sunday series with a little extra spice as we hike, scramble, and crawl our way to this unique secret beach amphitheater! This secret crater is only accessible at very low tides, and luckily for you we've done all of the logistical planning to make it happen! We'll hike along the stunning coastline and beaches for about 2 miles before things start to get interesting... this is where we may have to do a little bit of rock scrambling to get past a beach that's underwater most of the time.
After hiking a little more, we'll crawl our way through the unassuming cave entrance and into this massive secret amphitheater! (We may be able to walk in... just depends on how high the sand is at the time.)
Snap some photos, sing your best song into the echo-y crater, and then hike back along secluded beaches as the sun sets behind the Pacific and the moon rises in the east. Join us for an early dinner at a local spot in Point Reyes Station afterwards!
