Guide
Good to know
Visit on weekday mornings
Reviewers reported being alone or nearly alone on beautiful days, especially in August mornings.
Watch the wooden stairs carefully
The descending stairs from the parking lot are deteriorating and require caution and railing support.
Come for views, not swimming
The beach offers stunning vistas of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco, but water quality concerns were reported.
Plan around low tide
At very low tide, you can walk far toward the eastern Bay Bridge, but return before water covers the beach.
