Bayside Views of the San Pablo bay from the paved trails into this waterfront regional park, with old boat docks, some buildings, picnic areas, but only one in-out connection to the bay trail on the other, inland side of the train tracks via a bridge.

Pinole Point is remarkably breathtaking, extending over the cliffs and offering stunning views of San Pablo Bay. Though you'll need to dismount your bike as cycling is not allowed on the path, the awe-inspiring scenery is well worth the stop. Make sure to pack your camera and take time to soak in the natural beauty of this incredible spot.

This pier is a highlight of Point Pinole Shoreline Regional Park. Fishing off the pier is good (check local regulations), and there's a blue gum eucalyptus forest nearby.
