relative isolation has helped to maintain this magnificence, and it has also contributed to the profusion of agricultural pursuits in the area, both on land and in the water.
The village of Marshall, California, is located along Tomales Bay in western Marin County. It sits astride the Pacific Coast Highway 1 and is about halfway between the towns of Pt. Reyes Station and Tomales. The town has an official population of 50, but in reality there are a lot more.
During the months of May and June 1998, and again in January through April 2002, I had the good fortune of spending some time working in the beautiful town of Marshall. This experience enabled me to learn a lot about a small coastal community that is worthy of a closer look. Hence, this website.
While passing through the town, one cannot help but be struck by the extraordinary scenery in the area. With Tomales Bay and the Pt. Reyes National Seashore on one side and the coastal hills on the other, Marshall has the distinction of being in one of the planet's most awesomely beautiful locations. The relative isolation has helped to maintain this magnificence, and it has also contributed to the profusion of agricultural pursuits in the area, both on land and in the water.
In addition to the post office, a boatworks, market, and a couple of restaurants, Marshall's primary industries include oyster and abalone farming, kayak tours of Tomales Bay, and dairy farming, including the first organic dairy farm on the west coast.
