Latest reviews on Union City's beaches

Alameda beach
10 Lila Davis

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.

Dunes Beach
8 Samantha Sanders

This beach has a serene atmosphere, with plenty of vibrant individuals to keep you entertained. It's an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the sunset. However, tidiness can be an issue in certain areas.

Gray Whale Cove Beach
10 Kairos

This beach is definitely worth the short hike from the free parking lot just south of the tunnels on hwy 1. The old military bunker is really cool and the views are beautiful. Plus, there are plenty of fun things to do.

Cowell Ranch Beach
10 S M

The wild flowers blooming at the beach are absolutely stunning! It's a perfect opportunity for a leisurely stroll along the coastal trail, either heading north towards the Ritz Carlton or south until you reach the Seal Rock viewpoint at the end of the trail. Taking this walk in early April is truly delightful.

Redondo Beach
10 Samantha Rios

This place is a real hidden treasure! We arrived just in time to catch the sunset and were able to enjoy it for a while. The parking lot started to fill up as the sun went down, but it wasn't too crowded. We didn't actually go down to the beach because the path was steep and muddy, but we did manage to capture some great drone footage. There's also a trail you can take if you don't want to go down to the beach, which is perfect for birdwatching or just relaxing. We'll definitely be coming back!

Manhattan Beach

While visiting Manhattan beach, we came across the remains of the deceased humpback whale named Fran. Witnessing this sight was both heartbreaking and exceptional.
