Tomales Bay oysters at Hog Island or Tomales Bay Oyster Company. Reserve weeks ahead, bring your own shucking gloves and a knife if you can, and pair with bread and a cold bottle of something dry. It is the most "you are in Marin and only in Marin" experience I can think of. Stop in Point Reyes Station on the way back for cheese and a Bovine Bakery scone.

    Hog Island over TBOC if you can swing the timing. Their picnic setup with the rented charcoal grill is unbeatable. Also: the Marshall Store is the lazy-Sunday alternative if your visitor would rather have someone else shuck.

      Agreed, but TBOC is the call when you forget to reserve a week out. Walk-up oysters and a picnic table — never not a good time.
