    The view of the bay
    Lily Y.

    Came here for a picnic family gathering and really love how clean the park is. Must have patience on windy road to the park, but it's quite worthwhile once you arrive. Try to be there early before noon for the limited parking and parking is free too. The restrooms are huge and kept cleaned as well. Paradise Beach Park has lots of shade in the great group picnic BBQ pit areas with a spectacular ocean view of the bay. Saw people fishing at the dock on free fishing day as well.

    Picnic in the park

    This is a beautiful spot to be! Period. Just grab picnic, books and fishing rod if you are in to it.. but this is a beautiful place and regardless of what props you bring to enjoy, you will love every minute spent here. Due to Covid, the picnic benches are locked up but there is plenty of green patch to sit on. Just keep a look out for those bird droppings almost everywhere in the park, but there are still spots you can sit without worrying about that and with views. There were some spring blooms in the area so we had to take some pictures... it was an idyllic spring afternoon. The restrooms are very clean! Parking is $5, daily. Plenty of parking available too.

    Lovely park. It was very clean. I was impressed. Parking was reasonable. The pier was clean. There are lots of amenities, chairs, grills, benches, and faucets. There is a fish cleaning station on the pier. I saw 4 deer walking through the park. It was a serene morning and I enjoyed connecting with nature. Some people swim in the bay waters, which were choppy that morning. There is a small beach area with a rough shoreline. There was a hazard sign stating there is broken glass in the sand. Overall the park was well-maintained. There was a groundskeeper performance maintenance. I would definitely return when I revisit Marin County.

    Great BBQ pit, clean, organized, and highly recommended. It's a bit far from SF, and it's still worth it.

    Now, this was a surprise find for me and my family! A nice regional park in Tiburon. Parking is $10; more expensive than the East Bay but you can't get views like this! I can tell this is a popular park especially, on warm days in the East Bay. It was a little hazy or foggy when we came due to the big fire up north but still visible to see the San Rafael bridge. There is limited parking here. There is plenty of grass to pitch up a canopy and have a picnic. They do provide some bench seating but there is a limit. I didn't see a beach or I did see patches of sand by the water but not to say this was an actual beach to see the waves unless I missed it? They do provide ok bathrooms. There is a pier to fish and saw some get some decent size fish; not sure what kind they were though. I can definitely see my family come back here for a day picnic. We will have to plan something for the family before the warm weather is gone! [98/100]

    Reservable picnic spot #2

    This park is beautiful! The grounds are very well maintained and I love their group picnic areas. Yesterday my business, Picnic Potential had a client picnic for 30 as well as a smaller client picnic and this location was perfect for both. However, the beautiful views, sparkling clean bathrooms and fun areas of Adirondack chairs Are not what inspired this review. The very best part of this park are the rangers. Today we worked a lot with Audrey and Steve and they were both amazing. They helped us locate our spot and kept checking in to see if we needed anything. At the end of the picnic they used their two utility vehicles to help us bring all supplies up to the parking area. Even though it was about their time to be off they were both so good spirited and helpful and I super appreciate it. We will definitely be recommending this location to more clients.

    Free parking every first Saturday, and then it is $5 per vehicle (I think). The grounds seem fairly large, with a hiking trail nearby. Tables with grills can be reserved in advance. Four stars instead of five because pets are not allowed.

    This place is beautiful. The pier is open for the public to fish and you don't need a fishing license to be able to fish here. With that being said, lots of people fish here. People who fish here like to have multiple poles...and I mean more than 2. They also like to leave multiple fishing poles around the pier so it makes it really hard for someone with a single pole to fish anywhere to avoid getting caught in someone else's line. Other than the usual shark and stingray Marin County tends to offer, this pier offers jacksmelt, halibut, and other sea critters. There are lots of picnic benches available for use. Park rangers/park recreation are always on duty. No pets allowed into the park besides service animals. This park is home to a group of deers. They are often seen out in the grassy area eating throughout the day.

    You know those people perched at that primo picnic table in Golden Gate Park on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon with like 20 friends and a mini-festival of gourmet foods and lawn sports going on? How do they do that? Are they the picnic masters, or did they just get lucky? In my experience, picnics have to be planned ahead, and then fingers kept crossed for good attendance, a good table, and of course good weather, which is usually not too much to ask for in the Bay Area, except of course on the day your picnic is. Sigh. So instead of sunbathing in the grass we got to huddle around the charcoal grill for warmth (and man, every bite of hot food tastes soooo good when you're freezing your butt off all day). But I can't blame that on Paradise Park, which is certainly one of the choicest spots around for picnics, for several reasons: 1) There's dozens and dozens of picnic tables, so they don't run out too fast. Almost all have grills, and very few of them are in a bad spot. Plus, if you have a big group, you can make reservations (though it costs $$$). 2) It's on the bay, with a fishing pier and a sweeping view of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge (so it's not the Golden Gate, but still). 3) Two huge meadow areas to accommodate all the croquet, bocci, frisbee, badminton, volleyball, or kite flying you could dream of. 4) Well-staffed and well-maintained, thanks to that $8 you plunked down for parking. One caveat: be sure to call ahead and make sure a wedding or some such hasn't booked the whole place.

    The aisle as a stairway to the bay - what more could you want?
    T B.

    A picture perfect spot for a Bay Area wedding - that is actually right on the bay. Photo backdrop possibilities included gorgeous water, a dock, beautiful trees and flowers and the San Rafael Bridge. Cost was a couple hundred bucks for a large lawn that is directly on the water and several adjacent BBQ/picnic areas - a real steal compared to the likes of any of the Presido, and the people were very helpful and easy to work with. The only downsides are the parking costs and the fickle bay weather can kick up a bunch of wind without warning - and that wind can be cold. Otherwise it's absolutely perfect for a wedding or a picnic for two and most other things in between.

Since Tiburon is home to a ferry station and two sailing clubs, you can see ferries motoring to San Francisco and Angel Island leaving rippling waves behind them and sailboats gliding along the water. The park and the walking path stretches from Main Street Tiburon to Elephant Rock. The Railroad & Ferry Depot museum is halfway between. The walking path is all cement; smooth and flat. There are no public restrooms along path. The museum has limited hours and admission is $5. But it is a worthwhile stop since they have historical information boards outside the building. The board details the rich history of the building and area. There is no parking along the park. The closest parking is the day use parking lot off Paradise Drive opposite Main Street.

We still were able to get a spot big enough with four crab nets. Only downfall, there were too many seagulls so we had to be careful and protect our bait. We threw our crab nets down the pier and waited. There was one incident with one seal that took our bait from one of the crab nets. I would advise to put the bait in a small cage. After 30 minutes, we caught a whole bunch of rock and dungeness crabs. Since it was not dungeness crab season, we toss them back in the ocean. If you are a pro or a beginner in crabbing, Moore Road Pier is a great spot! It was a fun experience and I can't wait til dungeness crab season begin.

Now you don't need a fishing license if your fishing or crabbing off the pier. As soon as you step off the pier then you'll need a license. You just need to check the limits : how many and which fish/crabs are allowed to be taken. We live less than an hour from this pier so we are blessed to come here as often as we would like. Tourists from all over the world stopped to see what we were trying to catch and what we actually caught. Many of them did not understand what we were saying but we smiled at each other and I'm sure they will always remember how people crabbed and fished off this pier. You'll also see seals here. One naughty seal kept stealing all of our crab bait. We were glad the seal came around when we were about to leave anyways.

The great thing about DSF is that they provide all the gear necessary for your catch. We were going out for Tuna as Bluefin are now found in the waters off the west coast, we were all pretty excited to go fishing. All we brought with us was food and drinks, having everything else included was a bonus. In the event we caught anything, they'll cut, clean, gill and give us fillets. The boat ride was awesome, no one got seasick thank goodness, there's ample seating inside and out. It was super foggy in the early morning, but cleared up by the time we started. I've not been on a fishing boat prior to this trip, and I was blown away at how scenic and beautiful the water was out there. The bright sunshine gave the water a super bright blue appearance, it was cool. Captain Kyle and his deckhand got everyone rigged up and ready to fish. The Captain is youthful and took his time answering questions and giving advice. His mixture of humor and knowledge of where the fish were was certainly a bonus because as soon as lines were in the water we heard, " Fish On!" That first Tuna took everyone on board including my son Parker to reel it in ( Posted Picture). What a freaking rush. It was exciting watching as everyone reeled something in on the boat. We laughed, joked and had such a fun day out on the water with friends. On our way back in to harbor the Captain pointed out several whale pods swimming around the boat, it was a trip seeing them jump. We enjoyed our lunch and talked about who caught the biggest tuna. In all honesty, that first one was the biggest in my book. I can't say enough great things about Captain Kyle and his Diamond Sport Fishing. Reservations were easy as charters go out practically daily either 1/2 or full days. The waters off of California are changing, getting warmer, they're seeing Bluefin Tuna and Marlin so who knows, maybe our next trip we'll catch something epic! Overall Impression: A+
