Flat pedestrian path good for a run, walk, or what have you. Have found you can run at least an 11 mile out and back without leaving the pedestrian path (goes on to circle Bay Farm.)Upvote7Downvote- BikaboutApril 12, 2019Beach with an adjacent bike trail and great view of San Francisco.

Take a stroll, run, or bicycle ride and enjoy the fantastic view of San Francisco.Upvote1Downvote
Most shallow beach you'll find. And the water doesn't ever go below 50F even in the winter, can get as warm as 70 in the summer. No predatory animals either, maybe just a wayward seal.Upvote1Downvote
Great for sitting at or walking around. Wouldn't swim here.Upvote2Downvote
One of the best SF skyline views in the bay. Swimming, parasurfing, kite surfing, kayaking. This beach has it all. Plus bus access from BART!Upvote5Downvote

Please don't listen to the person that said it's a park with a beach atmosphere... It IS a beach. Not winning.
