About Point Pinole Regional Shoreline
Where rolling meadows meet the sparkling waters of San Pablo Bay, Point Pinole Regional Shoreline beckons adventurers to explore its 2,315 acres of coastal wilderness. This hidden gem near Richmond, California, invites you to wander through fragrant eucalyptus groves, traverse windswept bluffs, and follow winding trails that culminate at an impressive 1,250-foot fishing pier stretching into the bay. The primitive campground, tucked near the pier, offers an authentic back-to-nature experience where the rhythmic sounds of the bay lull you to sleep under star-filled skies.
Point Pinole Group Camp offers primitive group camping accommodations.
