Tomales Bay Oyster Company, established in 1909, stands as California’s oldest shellfish farm. Nestled on the shores of Tomales Bay, an inlet between Point Reyes National Seashore and the western edge of Marin County, the company is a short drive north of San Francisco. The bay’s serene waters and the farm’s rustic setting draw city-dwellers on weekends. Visitors can purchase oysters fresh from the sea, enjoying a direct connection to the region’s rich maritime heritage.
