Time out (with oysters) by the sea

It’s oyster season! And it’s hard to imagine a more ideal place to enjoy a delectable dozen than at Nick’s Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar, a cherished dog-friendly restaurant and lodging property on Tomales Bay in Marin County.

Dog-friendly day trips from the Cove include Limantour Beach at nearby Point Reyes National Seashore and Dillon Beach, 15 minutes north up the coast. Stop into the town of Point Reyes Station to pick up picnic supplies and don’t forget to pack some picnic treats for your dog, too!
