Limantour Beach stretches for over four miles from the west end of Limantour Spit to Santa Maria Beach to the southeast. It is a popular beach among families. The waves of Drakes Bay are usually much smaller than those on the west-facing beaches of Point Reyes, so it’s relatively safer for people to play along the water’s edge. Limantour Spit is a long, narrow strand of sand, bound by Drakes Bay to the south and Estero de Limantour to the north. The estuary is a bountiful wildlife area. Scores of shorebirds feed in the wetlands and along the beaches during the fall. Ducks abound in winter. Harbor seals are often seen bobbing offshore in the gentle waves or basking in the sun’s warmth at the western end of the spit. Mother gray whales guide their calves along the shoreline during the spring.
