"Point Reyes National Seashore contains unique elements of
biological and historical interest in a spectacularly scenic panorama of
thunderous ocean breakers, open grasslands, bushy hillsides and forested ridges.
Native land mammals number about 37 species and marine mammals augment this
total by another dozen species. The biological diversity stems from a favorable
location in the middle of California and the natural occurrence of many distinct
habitats. Nearly 20% of the State's flowering plant species are represented on
the peninsula and over 45% of the bird species in North America have been
sighted. The Point Reyes National Seashore was established by President John F.
Kennedy on September 13, 1962."
Point Reyes Lighthouse, usually one
of the windiest places in the world - today, winds are calm.
