Burlingame

The section of the Bay Trail between Burlingame and Redwood Shores offers long, continuous stretches of shoreline trail. In Burlingame, begin at Anza Lagoon.

Shortly after crossing the wooden bridge, the trail picks up again south of Fisherman’s Park and continues into the 670-acre Coyote Point Recreation Area, along the edge of a golf course and through a large eucalyptus grove.

San Mateo

Continuing south, the trail connects directly to San Mateo’s Shoreline Park, comprising Ryder Park and Seal Point Park.

Ryder Park features an interactive tidal water system, playgrounds, a kayak and windsurf launch, picnic areas and restored wetlands.

Across an elegant 105-foot bicycle/pedestrian bridge over San Mateo Creek is Seal Point Park, a former landfill offering expansive bay views and public art. South of the park, the Bay Marshes boardwalk extends from the trail with views of the mudflats.

Foster City

The trail continues into Foster City, passing underneath the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, past Sea Cloud Park and along marshes and mudflats adjacent to Belmont Slough.

An interior trail along Marina Lagoon snakes along the edge of this linear waterway.

The Foster City section of the trail also connects to a bicycle/pedestrian bridge over Highway 101 that’s accessed near the Belmont Sports Complex.
