Only 30mi/48km north of San Francisco on the CA 1 you will find Point Reyes, declared a "National Seashore" in 1962 and now forming part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area which starts in San Francisco. The British landed on this peninsula 41 years before the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth. In 1579 Sir Francis Drake dropped anchor here and took possession of the land for the British Crown, but his homeland did not concern itself unduly with the west of the newly-discovered continent. 24 years later, on January 6th 1603, the Spanish seafarer Don Sebastian Vizcaino landed on the peninsula and - as it was the Feast of the Epiphany - named it La Punta de los Reyes (the Point of the Kings).
