Some existing agricultural use is allowed to continue within the park. Clem Miller, U.S. Congressman from Marin County wrote and introduced the Point Reyes National Coastal Establishment Bill in 1962 to protect the peninsula from development, which at the time was being proposed for the slopes above Drake Bay. In 2010, all the park's beaches were recognized as the cleanest in the state.
