You need to enjoy fried and grilled food. No fussypants eaters The food is suitable for outdoor dining. The workers are cheerful in spite a very challenging work environment. Unfortunately, the seating is surrounded by heavy vehicle traffic.

I love all the beaches and parks and marinas in this area... so many undiscovered hidden gems in so few miles.

We go here every weekend for the dead seagulls that float onto the shore. Sometimes sharks float in too. They say it is the refinery that is causing this. I dont know, I dont care, I just like to look at dead things with the kids and wife.

Yes, great safe place for everyone even the dog family members. There are areas for all interest. Well kept and clean area. The views live up to any Bay expectations. I come here for the paths. Great for waking, jogging, and bike use. I am so glad that it is here for everyone to use. The constant police patrol gets gives an added sense of security. Thank you, City of Berkeley, CA.

Cool stuff washes to shore from the tide. Also one of the best driftwood forrest Ive ever seen. Its almost like a jungle gym of drift wood.

...theres the magic of the San Francisco bay... to see and feel all around me.the wind i feel coming from across the Pacific has blown into her through the stately quiet structure that shimmers like spider web in the sun, stretches with delicate strength across the opening between a jewel encrusted peninsula and a bucolic fog-kissed headland where a dark sleeping mountain dreams in her green dark peace... the Golden Gate.and to the right, looking south...a string of pearls glides lightly across the water litfing gradually out of a forest of metal and human engineered mathematical machinery to be held aloft forever against the gales of the sky and the shudders of the land by a shining white tower and then gently placed on the shoulder of an island, a Buena Vista she is, this threshold, the crossings of humanity stroke her skin as they come and go around the clock across the Emperor Norton...

Great views of both the Bay and Golden gate bridge on a clear day! There are some homeless folks every once and awhile but they are harmless. Nice spot to go for a run along the water or to fly a kite. Also a dog park near.

Review №22

This park is good for strolling, observation and views. It does not really have a beach, but the meadow restoration has made it good for birdwatching, and it has flat terrain so that its an easy hike. I found the scenery beautiful, and saw some good birds while I was there, and some water birds. It was a pleasant experience.

If you go early when the sun is coming up its got beautiful views. Its peaceful, calming and relaxing. Because its so early and the tide is low there is also a lot of life going on around the shore.

Review №43

Good open, well protected natural habitat. Great to take the kids in the day time. Be aware it becomes a make out destination later in the day on theough the evening. So children I would recommend during the earlier daytime hours.

So glad all of our pooches can still roam and swim! Its still a mix, with a few poorly raised and socialized dogs. Fortunately, there is space to find your spot. New bathrooms!! Bonus: your dog clean-up bag works great for holding the trash you can collect on the beach.

The surf was high on this very cloudy day. The roar of the waves, the cry of the gulls, the wind in my hair and the mist on my face created a feeling of rightness in my soul. I enjoyed the street art on the break wall. Creativity given a free hand, invoking varied emotion! A good day to breathe in the salty air!

Ju
Review №64

The park itself is awesome, but it really sucks that they allow people with permits to walk multiple dogs at one time. Theres no way for 1 person to be in full control of more than 2 dogs, let alone 7!!!

Its along a freeway nestled in the bay area surrounded by freeway. Its nice but I have been to better

St
Review №67

Super cool for what it is. Its not too much of a beach. Its in a harbor in the bay, so basically a pool, or lake. But maybe less clean water. Dont expect waves here. However, it really shouldnt be there at all, so either they brought in sand for a beach or its just a cool spot that has it. They have beach volleyball poles and stuff, so it ends up being pretty cool. Especially good for families with small children or simply a lazy day in the sun.

The views of the city and the sunsets are beautiful to watch from there. Too bad the area is being invaded by a tent city that keeps growing every day and with that the piles of trash grow too which is making the whole area to look (and is) very trashy.
