Hamlet, called Jensen's Oyster Beds since the 1930s, is a small cluster of buildings lining the shore of Tomales Bay, located 3 miles south of Tomales and 13.5 miles north of Point Reyes Station. The site is adjacent, to the south, with the mouth of Keys (or Walker) Creek, and is directly across Tomales Bay from Point Reyes National Seashore. County of Marin parcel 104-110-08 (approximately 40 acres, of which approximately 21 acres are tidelands), surrounding and containing the village of Hamlet, was purchased in October 1987, by the United States, Department of the Interior, National Park Service as the northernmost section of Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and is designated GGNRA tract 18-101.
