The Ultimate Guide to Oysters in Point Reyes
Found on the outskirts of the Point Reyes National Seashore, Olema House is the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. While this spot is excellent for anyone looking to relax, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of adventures to embark on. Spend time at nearby state parks or on area bike trails. There’s also plenty for foodies to do in Point Reyes, including learning about oysters from farm to table.
