Another great video! I love that the Lighthouse was used in one of my favorite movies, The Fog. I also enjoy seeing the seals and whales from videos from Point Reyes. I've never been but I've watched a lot of content from this spot.
Near Carmel by the Sea is Garrapata State Park. Try the Soberanes Canyon Trailhead, or if you enjoy a bit of risk keep walking and take the 'Rocky Ridge Trail.' Make sure to bring good hiking boots, a hat, and water & food is essential as well if do not have that, do not try it. There is no cell phone or radio signal, so you will be on your own, but the view from Rocky Ridge toward the ocean is stunning!
Glad you got to the Lighthouse. The South Beach Overlook is a Classic Still Photo shot. Makes a great large print. I have one from there in the 90's on film. Isn't the beauty of Pt. Reyes Amazing!?
Using only National Park Service (NPS) sanctioned trails to the Wildcat campground where you have beach access, then another mile on the beach south to Alamere Falls, it's 7 miles from Palomarin trailhead or Five Brooks trailhead (14 roundtrip); it's about 8 miles from the Bear Valley Visitor Center (16 miles roundtrip). A note of caution, make sure to check the tide charts before embarking on your hike. During high tide, much of the beach disappears underneath the waves and you will be trapped on the beach or worse. Try to time the 2-3 hours you spend on the beach hiking from Wildcat campground to Alamere Falls, hanging out a bit, and then going back when it's the lowest tide. There is supposedly an unsanctioned trail that locals have told me about right after you cross Alamere Creek on the northern side where you can go straight down to the beach where Alamere Falls is. If the trail is still there it is not maintained in anyway by the NPS and they strongly discourage you from using it but it would shorten your hike if you start at the Palomarin trailhead. It would be 4.5--5 miles one way instead of 7 to 8 miles one way. I don't think it's technically illegal to use the shortcut trail but it may not be easy to traverse.
