Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Parking - Auto, Picnic Table
Four picnic tables are located at the historic Pierce Point Ranch. Use of the picnic tables is free of charge and first-come, first-served.
Rules for Picnicking:
* Leaving food unattended is prohibited.
* Don't feed the wildlife.
* Don't litter. Take all waste home or dispose of all waste in garbage and/or recycling receptacles provided at the parking lot. Please don't put any non-recyclable materials in recycling receptacles.
* Leave No Trace. Do not carve into the picnic tables.
* Gas Campstoves and Fires:
** Visitors are welcome to use their own small portable gas campstoves.
** Wood and charcoal fires are prohibited. Visit our Beach Fires page for information about building wood fires in the national seashore.
** Gas campstoves must be attended anytime they are generating heat.
* If you move picnic tables, before you leave, move them back to where you found them when you arrived.
* Groups of over 25 people who wish to picnic in the park must first obtain a permit. Because there are limited places in the park which can accommodate a picnic group of this size, and to minimize the impact of such a group on other visitors, a permit system is necessary for groups of 25 or more. Contact the Special Park Uses office at 415-464-5111 for more information.
