About Duck Cove Beach in Inverness, California
Duck Cove Beach is a small boat-in beach on the Tomales Bay side of the Point Reyes Peninsula. It is open to the public for day-use if you get here by boat or kayak. Duck Cove Beach has a few old homes behind it and is surrounded by Point Reyes National Seashore and Tomales Bay State Park. This parcel of land was originally included inside Point Reyes National Seashore boundaries, but a developer built twelve vacation homes there before land acquisitions by the federal government were completed. The NPS has since acquired the entire property, but for some reason they have kept the road off-limits to entry by the general public. So if you want to visit Duck Cove, contact one of the local kayak rental companies and paddle out here. Contact Blue Waters Kayaks about renting a kayak for exploring Tomales Bay.

Actually, I take it back. The map is confusing. Kilkenny beach is the private one, I’m unsure about this. But generally speaking if there are private houses, probably not a good idea to lay on a beach in front of them, especially somewhere unfamiliar. I would got to the beaches mentioned by the national or state park. If you travel far enough down the bay you can find beaches that are basically all to yourself.
This is park housing. Not open to public. I would know because I lived there for a season with the park.
