About the Marin Headlands

The Marin Headlands houses an amazing richness of history and biological diversity due to the variety of habitats and unique geology of the area. Enjoy a hike through our varied trails and take in the astonishing views of the Pacific Coast and San Francisco.

The Marin Headlands is home to a diversity of animal species. Local mammals include coyotes, deer, rabbits, and bobcats. Due to the close proximity of the Pacific Flyway, the headlands also hosts a large variety of owl, song and shore birds. Egrets, grebes, and mallard ducks can be found year-around patrolling the waters of Rodeo Lagoon. Bird Island along the coast of Rodeo Beach is one of the largest roosting sites in northern California for the endangered brown pelican.
