From north Richmond to Martinez
the only legal access to San
Pablo Bay is from a small private boat launch in Rodeo. This
area is just west of the Waterfront Restaurant. You
can drive
over a bridge that crosses above the railroad tracks. Small
boats under 25 feet may be launched from trailers, as can
other
craft such as kayaks. Because this facility is essentially
unknown, one sees few small craft along the
Hercules
shoreline. The harbor master is
Mel Decker and his telephone
number is 510-691-6890.
There is an annual access fee of
$50. Please call Mr. Decker for additional information and an
application.
The only place in
Hercules where it is legal to cross the
shoreline railroad tracks is at the most northern edge of the city
near Lone
Tree Point. People fish here and there is a small
sandy beach. A trail leads here from Lone Tree Point
Park in
Rodeo, from the northern extension of the Bay
Trail in Hercules
and from the end of Regatta Point in
Victoria by the Bay.
