Tomales Bay State Park, State park in Marin County, US.
Tomales Bay State Park spans 2,000 acres across two sections on the east and west sides of the bay, featuring beaches, wetlands, and coastal forest.
The California State Parks Department established this protected area in 1952 to secure public access to multiple beaches along Tomales Bay.
The park includes reconstructed Coast Miwok dwellings at Indian Beach, showcasing the indigenous heritage of this coastal region through interpretive programs.
Hearts Desire Beach provides vehicle access, parking facilities, restrooms, picnic areas, and a swimming platform in the protected waters of the bay.
The park contains four distinct beaches - Indian, Hearts Desire, Pebble, and Shell - with three accessible only by hiking trails or watercraft.
