    What a beautiful scenic place! I've never seen so many shades of blue. Abbotts Lagoon is located on the western shoreline of Point Reyes National Seashore. The trail leading to Abbotts lagoon is flat and easy. There is free parking on site. Pets are not allowed on Abbotts Lagoon trailhead or the beach.

    This lagoon is beautiful! It is filled with wildlife. My parents and I saw many birds (California Quails), rabbits, and even a river otter. The scenery is beautiful and there are some wild flowers.

    Perfect day at the beach. Warm weather, no wind, refreshing water and finished off with a beautiful sunset

    A beautiful walk with amazing beach at the end. The walk was about a half hour long and not good for friends with a stroller, as parts are very rugged and narrow. The last portion of the trail and the beach itself was so perfect for flying kites that it really required no effort. Take a water and a hat!
