Natural featuresCoyote Point was once an island in San Francisco Bay, separated from the mainland by salt marsh. In the 1800s, the marsh was filled to create pastureland. The area was later used as a wharf for freight.
Today, Coyote Point’s windy, salty environment supports distinctive stands of eucalyptus and Monterey cypress. Remnant salt marsh, the beach promenade, the marina, and the breakwater provide habitat for a number of native shorebirds and songbirds.
The rugged, windy Recreation Area is mostly flat, with a knoll that offers lovely vistas of the Bay.
Coyote Point Recreation AreaRight on San Francisco Bay, this rocky peninsula and beach offers many adventures on both land and water.
The Park’s 149 acres of land include many picnic areas, three playgrounds, trails, a gravel beach, and fishing spots. The 538 underwater acres of the Recreation Area offer opportunities for windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, and swimming. Board sports equipment can be rented at the Beach Center.
The Recreation Area includes the Coyote Point Marina, the Coyote Point Pistol and Rifle Range, CuriOdyssey – a museum for environmental education, and the private Coyote Point Yacht Club.
