West Marin is a rural region of Marin County, California. It is sometimes referred to as the Point Reyes Area after the Point Reyes National Seashore.[citation needed]

The West Marin Chamber of Commerce includes seven unincorporated communities in its definition of West Marin: Point Reyes Station, Olema, Stinson Beach, Bolinas, Tomales, Dillon Beach, and Inverness.[1] West Marin is generally considered to be west of Muir Beach and Nicasio on the Pacific Ocean side of the Mount Tamalpais.[citation needed]

The The Point Reyes Light is a weekly newspaper covering West Marin,[citation needed] and the website of the Marin Independent Journal has a category for West Marin news.

Unlike the rest of the county, which is served by Golden Gate Transit, West Marin is served by Marin Transit, which connects to Golden Gate Transit lines at Marin City and in the San Geronimo Valley.[citation needed]
