Read more about Point Isabel Dog ParkThis is a really nice park to visit all year round. It’s well maintained and not crowded on weekdays. Weekends are a little more crowded so we only go there on weekdays. There are plenty of trails to explore. We enjoy walking on the dirt trails along the bay or through the trees. The fishing pier is very popular. We’ve never gone fishing there, but have seen people catching fish there. Great views of both Mount Tam and Mt. Diablo. There are also picnic areas with barbecue pits. Highly recommend for hiking or just a casual walk in the park. There are 2 parking areas in the park with plenty of spaces.
Read more about Point Pinole Regional ShorelineAbsolutely beautiful spot with incredible views of the San Francisco skyline. Just a short drive from the city, but it feels like a peaceful escape into nature. Wide open trails, fresh ocean air, and plenty of space to relax or walk.
