Good place to come for a walk. Newer trail and its very well taken care of. Planes overhead might ruin the Zen for you if your not a Jedi master. Might have to practice tuning things out like all the airplanes to and from SFO. Its seemingly a constant thing - and with all the jet fuel and pollution they put out I'm not sure if its the best thing to frequent this place or spend a lot of time here. I researched the pollution that comes off of jets and gas powered leaf blowers and its mind blowing when it compared to a modern car with a smog device. Trash can, benches, perfectly clean walking trails. If you are in the area don't hesitate to check it out. read more

Great trail- it's paved and travels for several miles between the businesses and the bay. Not many walkers. I've been coming here for years. It has always been a safe trail, there is a mixture of dog walkers, bird lovers, bike riders and walkers. Never feels crowded. To find it: 1) Go to SSF Costco, there is even a plaque on the buildings wall 2) find the small parking lot between the Costco and the water Treatment Building Park. 3) Walk over the large pedestrian bridge - wood planks with brown Steel beams -enjoy the birds in the slow moving stream 4) Turn right at the end of the bridge onto the asphalt paved trail. There are rest areas, benches, and a few interpretive signs. Some sensitive areas are blocked off, stay on the path. Birds have nests in the brush and muddy shoreline . Lots to look at. The trail is marked with mileage signs. Bring a hat and water. Wear comfortable shoes. Bring a jacket, it can be windy. If you have a dog, use a leash. read more

Well, it isn't the most exciting stretch of the SF Bay Trail, but you probably could've figured that out for yourself. Stretching from the top of Sierra Point to the edge of SFO, the mostly paved trail snakes around bland business parks, mundane marinas, and poop-freckled pavement. Yet, it held a certain risk-averse appeal. It's over seven miles out and back, and if you manage it in one fell swoop, you're certainly a more motivated person than I am. It took me a couple of visits. I parked at Sierra Point and tackled the northern half on my first walk, and I just parked at Oyster Point to tackle the rest of the route. Truth be told, there wasn't that much difference in the terrain or the bay views between the two halves. It was pleasant enough if you don't mind a lot of wind whipping you around. The paved walkway works its way around the edges of the peninsulas with footbridges and plenty of benches along the way. It becomes a meandering path interrupted sometimes by bicyclists, joggers, and the occasional pack of Genentech colleagues holding walking meetings. Breaking up the monotony were several marshlands along the way with plenty of seabirds. Parking was a cinch at either Sierra Point or Oyster Point since there are public lots separate from the company-owned spaces. You'll definitely get your FitBit steps here, just not your flights.

Great little section of the San Francisco Bay Trail. Our preferred entry point is near the Airport Coscto. The parking area is small but we have never had an issue. The trail is mostly flat however, there are a few easy slopes to break up the monotony. There are killer views of the bay as well as you can watch a lot of flight operations at nearby San Francisco International. There are multiple train entry-points and the only services are the parks along the route so plan ahead. Also lots and lots of wind so dress accordingly read more

We started at Sierra Point in Brisbane and walked all the way to 5.5 mile end, which apparently takes you right up to the Costco Airport parking lot. The northern half of the trail is prettier with views but windy, while the southern end starting from oyster point onward has more wildlife. Keep your eyes alert while you're enjoying a brisk flat walk. The climate here is always sunny but sometimes super windy. I tend to dress in layers. Bathrooms are available at Oyster Point and at Sierra Point. I also tend to park at these two points. Spaces are always available. Lots of people also picnic on the grass nearby. read more

We got on the bay trail from the San Mateo section which is kind of at a dead end of a residential street. On the day we went, it was super windy. The trail is flat, paved and definitely has a view of the bay. It seems like it would be a good trail for bike on a calm day. Because it is along the bay, there is no shade. Other than that, it is a good trail along the bay and don't have to worry about cars. read more

I Love walking this trail. It is mostly flat some little bumps in the road, I wouldn't even call them hills. You can walk, run, bike, roller blade, jog stroll whatevery you want to do! There is a lot business people walking during their lunch. It is beautiful on a nice day. But can get a little windy, it is in South San Francisco, do you expect anything different? This is one of the few trails that are dog friendly that I have found! read more

My neighbor and I came to the Oyster Pt bay trail for a stroll today. We had a nice almost 2 -hour walk. A bit windy at times, so dress in layers (i had a down jacket over a sweat shirt over a sleeveless shirt during the entire walk!!) Some nice wildflowers now which is nice. Alot more quieter during the weekday than the weekend. Would love to get back into leisure biking as the path is too long to do walking. read more

I'm sure the vast majority of people who live in the area only see the bay when driving on the Bayshore Freeway or crossing one of the bridges. The Bay Trail is an awesome way to get up and close to the Bay read more
