- Overview
Point Reyes National Seashore is 70,000 acre (283 km²) park preserve located on the Point Reyes Peninsula in National Park Service as a nationally important nature preserve within which existing agricultural uses are allowed to continue. Clem Miller, a US Congressman from Marin County wrote and introduced the bill for the establishment of Point Reyes National Seashore in 1962 to protect the peninsula from residential development which was proposed at the time for the slopes above Drakes Bay. Millers vision included the continuation of the historic ranching and oyster farming along with the preservation of the grasslands and open scenic vistas. The mix of commercial and recreational uses was the reason the area was designated a National Seashore rather than a National Park.Point Reyes was one of the locations where the 1980 horror film The Fog was filmed.[1]
