Tomales Bay Kayaking Adventure

With Michael Ellis
Tomales Bay is a 6800-acre estuary located just east of Point Reyes National Seashore, and one of Michael's favorite places to explore! It is twelve miles long and relatively shallow, occupying the seaward end of a rift valley created by the San Andreas Fault. Its clean water supports productive eelgrass beds, which provide a nursery habitat for many species of fish and invertebrates. The pristine waters of the bay also support harbor seals, thousands of migrating shorebirds, geese and cormorants. Osprey, kingfishers, loons, grebes and pelicans (both brown and white) are plentiful. The Tomales Bay Marine Station, our point of departure, will provide easy access to some of the premier kayaking areas of the bay. We are offering this trip in partnership with Environmental Traveling Companions (ETC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to making outdoor adventures accessible to all. People with disabilities are welcome and encouraged to join us.
