This chic and barnlike building plays host to a fantastic farm-to-table American eatery that lives by the motto, "Wherever you are, eat the view."

24 metres from the kitchen is the garden, which is the jewel behind SingleThread's exceptional farm-to-table menu. Chef Kyle Connaughton makes fruit and veg taste like magic. 

A charming shack by an oyster farm, perfect for a late lunch. Slurp briny, sweet oysters – served ice-cold or bourbon-butter grilled – alongside bay views and salty air.

Nestled in the hills of Inverness, the Blunk House – a redwood cabin built entirely by his hand from salvaged wood and local river rocks – is the preserved home and studio of late California artist J.B. Blunk, celebrated for his organic wood sculptures and handmade interiors. Tours are by appointment only as it remains the house of Blunk's daughter Mariah,  but if you miss it, you can check out the nearby Blunk Space in Point Reyes Station – a gallery dedicated to his legacy hosting rotating shows of contemporary artists in dialogue with his work.
