Slide Ranch is West of Mill Valley, between Muir Beach and Stinson Beach, within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, a unit of the National Park Service. Slide Ranch’s 134 acres of coastal land are open to individuals and families EVERYDAY from dawn to dusk for hiking, picnicking and self-guided visits. We have Goats, Sheep, Honey Bees, Chickens and Ducks and hiking trails next to the ocean with amazing wildlife. Come enjoy some time in nature, hike the trails, say hello to our animals, and explore the coast!

Ranch operations and programs are dependent on the generosity of our visitors. Please consider making a donation as part of your visit.

Directions

We are located at 2025 Shoreline Highway (aka Hwy 1) in Muir Beach, CA 94965, north of the residential community of Muir Beach and about 1 mile north of the Muir Beach Overlook.

From Highway 1 North (approaching Slide from most locations including SF, most of Marin and points North, East Bay, South Bay, etc…):

  • Highway 101 (north over the Golden Gate Bridge from SF and the South Bay, west over the San Rafael Bridge to 101 south from the East Bay, south on 101 from Marin and other points North)

  • Take the Highway 1/Stinson Beach exit. Follow signs towards Highway 1 and turning left onto Shoreline Highway

  • Staying left, continuing on Highway 1/Shoreline Highway at the 3 splits below:
    *After the 7-11 at 371 Shoreline Highway, and before the intersection at Panoramic Highway, Highway 1 curves sharply to the left at an intersection with Loring Avenue. Do not continue onto Loring Avenue - bear left at this Split to continue on Highway 1 (following signs toward Stinson Beach and Muir Woods).
    *Stay left at the Split with Panoramic Highway to continue on Highway 1/Shoreline Highway following signs towards toward Muir Beach (not Muir Woods).
    *After passing the Pelican Inn, approximately 2.5 miles before reaching Slide, Highway 1 curves to the left at an intersection with Muir Woods Road. Stay left to continue on Highway 1. Do not go straight onto Muir Woods Road

  • You will pass the residential community of Muir Beach. Slide Ranch is located on Highway 1 ("Shoreline Highway") about 1 mile north of the Muir Beach Overlook.

  • You will see a park sign for Slide Ranch to your right. Our entrance driveway is on your left, sloping downhill toward the coast.

    Proceed to Slide via Highway 1 South. Our entrance driveway will be on your right, sloping downhill toward the coast - please be mindful not to confuse our "exit" driveway, which you will encounter first - continue South to reach our marked entrance driveway. If you've reached the Muir Beach Overlook, you've missed us and traveled too far - turn around and retrace your way North about 1 mile to reach us.

From Highway 1 South (approaching Slide from approaching Slide from further North in West Marin only - Stinson, Bolinas, Olema, etc…):

  • Take Highway 1 South.

  • Our entrance driveway will be on your right, sloping downhill toward the coast - please be mindful not to confuse our "exit" driveway, which you will encounter first.

  • Continue South to reach our marked entrance driveway. If you've reached the Muir Beach Overlook, you've missed us. Turn around and retrace your way North about 1 mile to reach us.

We can't wait to see you at the ranch!

Please note that bus drivers approaching Slide for the first time are often nervous about our driveway, fearing that they may not be able to turn around. Reassure them that there is enough space to return to the highway by using our ample parking lot and separate exit driveway. Buses up to 36 feet long are permitted to travel on all routes to Slide Ranch.
