Editing Inverness, California (section)

== Community ==
Inverness is located on the west shore of [[Tomales Bay]], which runs southeast along the line of the [[San Andreas Fault]].  Surrounded by [[Point Reyes National Seashore]], it is primarily a residential community, with little industry other than tourism. It has a small downtown area with a general store, post office, library, two restaurants, one gift shop and a coffee shop. A third restaurant is located a short way north of downtown. There are also a number of hotels and inns spread throughout the town. 

One aspect of the town is a concentration of recreational (and some commercial) boating. There is a small public marina, a few private piers, and the [[Inverness Yacht Club]].

Portions of the John Carpenter film ''[[The Fog]]'' as well as most of his film ''[[Village of the Damned (1995 film)|Village of the Damned]]'' were shot in and around Inverness. In 1970, American singer and songwriter [[Jesse Colin Young]] moved his home and recording studio to Inverness. In 1993, Young and his wife Connie founded Ridgetop Music, a label based out of their home in Inverness.
