Hayward Regional Shoreline protects marshes, tidal channels and open bayfront habitat.
Trails offer opportunities to walk beside San Francisco Bay and observe birds using this changing meeting place of land and water.
The photograph shows a double-crested cormorant recorded at the shoreline during an earlier visit. Wildlife sightings and exposed mudflats vary with tides and season. Use current district maps for authorized access points and open routes, as restoration and maintenance can affect trail connections. Keep clear of sensitive habitat, follow posted dog restrictions and check weather, water conditions and accessibility before planning a longer outing.
