Bay Point - all beaches

The Tennessee Valley Trail is a great way to experience nature and the beach simultaneously. The trail is approximately 1.75 miles long and is definitely worth the trek. Beach enthusiasts will appreciate the various types of beach sections and the surrounding rocks, including small and coarse sand and stones. It's a stunning spot to spend the day, and during low tide, you can explore the areas behind the massive rocks. There is also a pond nearby where you can see ducks and geese. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on this trail. There are two ways to get to the beach: one involves climbing a hill, while the other is the Lower Spur trail, which is only open seasonally due to winter closures and high pond water. After walking a half-mile, you will reach a fork in the path. The left trail is flat, while the right-hand trail has a wooden fence and offers fantastic views. If you prefer not to climb, follow the Lower Spur trail, which is easy and flat. However, the final stretch of the trail is steep and rough, so be prepared to carry a stroller if you bring one. Vault toilets are available at the parking lot and near the beach. The parking lot is partially open on weekends due to renovations and fills up quickly. You may need to park elsewhere and walk up to the trailhead, so factor that into your trail length. Additionally, there are trails that lead to Rodeo Beach, which is about a three-mile hike.

It's a stunning place to socialize. My family has owned the green house and the one adjacent to it for generations, which is where some of my great grandparents were born. The view towards San Francisco has been thoughtfully crafted to enhance the overall human experience.

This beach is renowned as the birthplace of the original burning man and offers a breathtaking view. Despite my admiration for this beach, the parking situation is quite limited. However, the real issue lies with the porta potties, which are not well-maintained and emit an unpleasant odor within 10 feet of them. It is imperative that they are cleaned on a daily basis to ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors.

This beach is the ultimate destination to unwind and bask in the glory of the setting sun. It boasts a charming hiking trail that is perfect for those who love to explore. Moreover, the beach is an ideal spot for novice surfers, thanks to its low tides. Its beauty is unparalleled and can be enjoyed throughout the year.

We absolutely adored this beach! It was stunning and not overly crowded. There were only a few other people there apart from us. The sand is not actually black, but when wet it appears to be due to its dark color. It's a 0.2 mile walk down to the beach and coming back up to the car is quite a challenge with all the steps! But I highly recommend it! It's so gorgeous! I'm only 4'11 and some of the steps were a bit difficult for me, but my husband helped me out when they were too steep. There is a vault toilet in the parking lot and someone was kind enough to put an air freshener. There aren't many parking spaces, but I noticed people parking on the side of the road. This beach is truly beautiful and should not be missed!

This breathtaking beach is the perfect spot to catch a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge in the early hours of the morning. The short and pleasant hike down to the shore is a great way to start your day. The best part? You'll have the entire beach to yourself before the sun rises! It's an idyllic location for taking stunning photos or simply relaxing and enjoying the sunrise. Don't miss out on this incredible experience!
