    Coyote Point Recreation Area


    Comment on Facebook

    The Bay Trail has been called "a string of pearls connecting gems." One of the brightest and most spectacular of those gems is Coyote Point. San Mateo County's Coyote Point Recreation Area in San Mateo is a large 670-acre park complex. It is located on a point of land that juts out into the Bay south of San Francisco International Airport. It was once an island, separated from the main shore by a marsh, which was filled in in the 1800's for dairy farming. The area was later used at different times as an amusement park, a Merchant Marine cadet school, and a college campus. San Mateo County acquired the land in 1942 and turned it into a park. The park is along the landing path for the airport, so it is a good place for airplane-watching. It is a scenic, diverse, and very popular park, especially for weekend group picnics. Besides its many picnic areas, it has playgrounds, beaches, large lawns, a marina and yacht club, a fishing jetty, a large nature museum, a conference center, and a public firing range. The park has a network of roads, bike paths, and pedestrian-only paths.
