Shoreline Park, in Tiburon CA, is not really a full amenities park. It is more of a green lawn and…read morewalking trail along the bay with jaw dropping views of Angel Island, and Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline in the distance. 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.

A very nice park along the shoreline in Tiburon!!!…read more This place seems to be popular with tourists, people picnicking, or coming and going to Angel Island on the ferry. There is a small museum here also, but it closes early. It's also a good place to walk off the dinner from some of the nearby restaurants. But, it's really scenic here, with all the ferries coming and going, along with Angel Island looming in the background.

The flowers were beautiful, being mid spring it was California iconic with all the poppies abloom! Twinkle and I enjoyed a very nice stroll, and she met some friendly dogs along the way as well. I cannot wait to come back here many, many times! Bring a jacket, it is chilly with the breeze coming off the water!

The ferry ride is short and then you can hang out on the island until you're ready to go. I ran around the island which is 5.5 miles via the perimeter trail. There isn't much on the island so most people seemed to bring snacks and a picnics, but the little store also has some food and postcards! It's a fun activity to try and the island has great views of the city and lots of cool abandoned buildings and other historic relics.

If you are anywhere near the Bay Area, Angel Island State Park is absolutely worth the trip. The…read morescenery alone makes it a great escape, but the Immigration Station is what really makes this place special. The island is peaceful and not overly crowded. You get incredible views of the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the surrounding bay. It is a great spot for hiking, biking, or just relaxing by the water. The highlight for me was the Immigration Station. Walking through the barracks and reading the poems carved into the walls is powerful. It gives you a deeper appreciation for the history and the experiences of those who passed through. It is not something to rush through. Take your time and really take it in. Try to go earlier in the day so you have enough time to explore both the trails and the station. Also check the ferry schedule ahead of time so you are not cutting your visit short. Overall, it is a great mix of nature and history. Beautiful, meaningful, and definitely worth visiting.

The views here are impressive, and it is the perfect route to bike or run on.read more

Unusual little neighborhood park with stunning views of the city…read more This is a neighborhood park - not for tourists... but it doesn't stop a tourist from coming here a few blocks off the main road to imagine life in such a serine area. Most of SF and the bay area is so much hustle and bustle and car break INS and crazy - its almost hard to believe that people just a few miles more away enjoy peace and quiet and serenity. Life in the bay doesn't have to be all gun shots and barbed wire and security cameras. Maybe if you live in one of those situations its important you come here to see how the other half lives. Show your kids the world is big - and you don't have to have some extravagant vacation to Japan to teach your kids this. The park is mostly flat but the surrounding street where you might park is very steep - if your diving a manual transmission car you might test your skills.

This is also great for photographers. Pretty much the hills, grass, trails, rocks, and trails are amazing! This is also a great place for photographers. There are other places like those Battery ones and Hill 88, but my friend and I didn't really get a chance to go there since we pretty much missed the path and we didn't want to turn around. Honestly, it's really hot here and thank goodness that I bring water and snacks in case I'm thirsty or hungry. Most importantly, bring water! You'll need it if you're ever going to hike here. The trip is short in my opinion since I'm used to hiking for a long time. In the future, I am planning to come back here to revisit scenic spots that we missed. The hike might be longer since I enjoy hiking at regional parks.

The hiking trails are beautiful and well worth exploring, whether you're going for a short walk or a longer hike.
