@nationalparks #PointReyes #NationalSeashore is a #nationalpark near San Francisco established in 1962 by John F. Kennedy. The area encompasses a #peninsula and a small section of the adjacent ocean. It is of #tectonic interest because it lies on the #PacificPlate, which moves relative to the #NorthAmericanPlate with the San Andreas Fault between both. The peninsula has a special vegetation: the #Californiacoastalprairie.
