The peninsula is a well defined area, separated from the rest of Marin County by a rift zone of the San Andreas Fault, about half of which is sunk below sea level and forms Tomales Bay.
The small town of Point Reyes Station forms the gateway to the peninsula and provides most services to it, though some services are also available at Inverness on the west shore of Tomales Bay.
