My daughter busied herself with collecting little cockle shells that she found along the beach (she's planning on making a craft project with them).Įven though it was chilly, the kids both waded in the water and had fun skipping stones and exploring the beach. The waves here are gentle and the water shallow, so it's a great place for wading and playing in the sand. Paradise Beach itself is a narrow sliver of sand along San Francisco Bay. With spacious lawns and shady trees, a horseshoe pit, and of course a beach, it's a great place in Southern Marin to bring your lunch, relax, and spend the day. Paradise Beach Park boasts numerous picnic tables and group picnic areas, most of which have access to charcoal BBQ grills. Near the fishing pier is a launching area for kayaks and canoes. The pier offers plenty of benches and holders for your fishing rods, as well as a place to clean your catch. We wish we had dug out our fishing poles from the garage-you can actually fish (for fish including halibut, sturgeon, striped bass, shark, perch, bat ray, and crab) from the pier here without a fishing license. They had a blast exploring the beach, running and playing on the grass, and watching fish jumping and harbor seals swimming by from the fishing pier. I haven't been to Paradise Park for years, so this was a great excuse to revisit it, but with my kids this time. If you haven't been to Paradise Beach Park, it's worth a visit. The views from this bayside gem of a park are amazing, too, with sweeping vistas of Marin and the East Bay. ![]() Located along the shores of San Francisco Bay in Tiburon, the 19-acre Paradise Beach Park offers a beach, plenty of lawns and picnic areas, a redwood grove, and an iconic fishing pier for the anglers among us.
