Slide Ranch

Explore the surroundings and animals in peace. The kids will love the sheep, bee nests, chickens and ducks. Camping is possible here, but it's windy and cold at night.

Not much to see/do at the ranch (but we weren’t with a guide), but the tide pools were a hit with the kids!

An absolute treasure near Muir Beach. See Sheep, Goats, Chicken and Ducks on an inspiring cliff-side view. Tidal pool trail is fun — just be very careful on super slippery rocks.

They have on-site bathrooms and friendly staff on-site. Parking can be tight on a busy day, but it is a rather big lot.

Best of all, this trail experience is free

A fun place to explore for an afternoon. Lots of coastal trails and some pretty amazing tide pools. The ranch itself has been around for ever and if you habe young ones they would really get a kick out of learning while exploring!

A magical place to host an upscale dinner party with an unbeatable view. We recently celebrated my wife's 30th here with 25 friends for dinner and camping(option for glamping). We had a personal chef come and use the new commercial kitchen located in the new Farm to Table Teaching Center building. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to cook for large groups and can seat up to 30 inside with plenty more room on the modern deck. We chose to eat down by the yurt which is located about 50 yards from the kitchen and looks directly out over the ocean. After dinner, we sat by the fire to enjoy the evening a little more. Those of us that camped were in awe of the view the next morning and made our selves at home in the dome which has everything you need to fix a hot gourmet breakfast. The campsite is set away from the ranch by a 1/4 mile behind a group of cedars so you feel you are the only ones on this secluded shoreline.
I worked with Jesse who is the operations manager there. He was very communicative and helpful as this was my first time planning this size event. Gabe was onsite the day of and took complete care of us.
If you are looking for a place to wow your guest not far from the city this is the place!
