Muir Beach

Muir Beach lies along California’s Pacific coast in Marin County, where a sheltered sandy cove meets steep coastal hills. The beach forms part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, a federal park system spanning sites in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties. Muir Beach sits at the mouth of Redwood Creek, whose lagoon and surrounding wetlands provide habitat for seasonal birdlife. Inland, Muir Woods National Monument has protected an old-growth coast redwood forest since 1908 and is named for naturalist John Muir. North of the Golden Gate, this is a rugged stretch of shoreline shaped by the Pacific and winter rains. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Marin County’s Pacific coast.
