Nice beach with lots of parking very close to the water. Depending on the tide you may have to walk across shallow pools and mud flats until you reach deeper water. For the kids playing in the tidal pools was a lot of fun.

Great beach with shallow water for kids to play in. Clean beach with a good amount of tables and restrooms. The crab museum is great beach area and park seems very safe area for families to play there is also some tennis courts. There was lots of birds only reason I give 4 stars is because of the water not being that clean it could be due to the tied.

Very safe vibe for watching the sunset over SF, lots of people walking running and taking in the view even a bit later in the evening. Decent amount of parking along the beach too

Can you fish the beach without a license

Michael Bird | Nov 22, 2020
Seth M. Newlin | Nov 23, 2020

No. You must have a valid ca fishing license to fish any natural shoreline, including man made lakes. You don't need a fishing license to fish any man made pier. So I believe that includes man made breakwaters. Beaches aren't structures, even if the island is landfill, it's not a separate structure so it doesn't fall under man made.

Hello, Can we swim there?

Is there wheelchair access or rental to get to the shore?

Laurie LaRowe | Dec 23, 2018
Michael K. Hobbs | Dec 24, 2018

Yes partly you can roll anywhere along the black pavement. But there is nothing that wheelchairs can go across to get to the actual water. You think by the restroom area where the most traffic is they should put a paved walkway down to the beach and section off a part for wheelchairs only they do it for a lot of other things why not that.
