Embarcadero Shoreline Parks and Trails

There are many superb opportunities for public waterfront access hidden along the Embarcadero in a strip stretching from the 9th Avenue Terminal to Embarcadero Cove. Here, a series of intermittent shoreline paths links pocket parks, piers, marinas, restaurants and various businesses. The paths, which are part of the Bay Trail, offer views of the estuary, marinas, and Coast Guard Island. There are occasional interruptions in the shoreline path, but the route continues along the Embarcadero in these areas.
