You can’t have late summer in the Bay Area without Fogust — the Pacific Coast’s way of saying “Nice try, sunbathers!” This year, lean into those misty clouds and head for Point Reyes. There, you’ll find fog aplenty plus the S.S. Point Reyes — a dilapidated shipwreck and social media darling whose days in Inverness are numbered. You can’t go on board — it’s not safe — but what could be a more perfect backdrop for a picnic?

Pick up a sandwich down the street at The Inverness Store — the nearby Saltwater Oyster Depot has fancier fare, if you’re leaning more toward seasonal plates and seafood. And remember to bring layers!

First things first >> The Point Reyes “shipwreck” isn’t a classic wreck, but rather the husk of the S.S. Point Reyes, an abandoned fishing boat that’s been disintegrating on the shores of Inverness since the late 1990s. The now Instagram-famous boat sustained additional damage earlier this year due to tides and storms and will be removed in the future. There is no date set yet, says Point Reyes National Seashore spokesperson Richard Moorer, but if you want to go, go soon.

Details >> The shipwreck is behind the Inverness Store, which opens daily at 10 a.m. at 12784 Sir Francis Drake Blvd. in Inverness.

But wait, there’s more >> Spend the day at Point Reyes, where you can spot tule elk at Tomales Point or watch for whales near the Point Reyes lighthouse. The Bay Area’s whale-watching scene this summer has been particularly active.
