186. Shoreline Access Path – Strawberry

There’s a lovely but little known walkway that runs along the eastern and southern shore of the Strawberry peninsula. It is in beautiful condition, with spacious green lawns at either end plus one in the middle, and a wide and level paved walkway/bikeway along the water. The path is about 2/3 of a mile in length, and is a favorite for walkers and dog-walkers. Many people drive down and park in the cul-de-sacs at either end, or along the street in the middle where there’s a third access point.

There are doggie bag dispensers at the parks at the ends to make it easy to clean up any pet messes. The signs say that dogs must be on leash at all times, but many are not. And, there are benches in the parks, and a number of benches in a semi-circle at the southern end, facing the gorgeous view of Sausalito and San Francisco.
