About McNears Beach Park in San Rafael, California

McNears Beach Park is a Marin County Park located in the city of San Rafael. The beach here is rocky and located in a muddy part of San Pablo Bay but at least the park has a beach. Canoes, kayaks, and SUPs can be launched here. The park is better known for fishing than beachcombing. There is a large popular fishing pier just a few steps from the parking lot. There are grass lawns, picnic areas, and sports facilities here too. If you want to go hiking or cycling, head over to nearby China Camp State Park, which has a network of trails and a sandier beach. Note that dogs are not allowed at McNears Beach Park unfortunately.
