Bayshore Trail is a 5.1 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Millbrae, California that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and fishing. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
This is a nice easy paved walk with great views of arriving SFO flights. Accessibility: In the large paved parking lot by the San Francisco Marriot there are multiple designated handicapped-accessible parking spaces with multiple striped access aisles. The trail surface is paved asphalt and typically at least five feet wide. The estimated grade is gentle (3% or less) except for a steep downhill (up to 8%) section at 2.3 miles when going east.
pavement quality is not great for scooter. lots of trash. at one mile the path ends and you have to walk on the "beach".
Granted, we ended up here because all of the fires in the area and there are few places to go that are open. This trail isn’t our cup a tea normally. The trail was easy, and it started out with quite a few good shore birds.
Always nice to hike along the Bay, but watch the trail where Bayshore drive turns. You will need to stay on the street around the corner, and not along the Bay as the trail is “under construction” for a short stretch. Still worth the walk!
This trail runs along the water. Not a good view but also not a bad one. All paved, but we ran into an area where either the trail ends or the bridge is out so we had to go around along the street and finished the marked route. Had a good run on a warm morning.
Comstruction makes you detour to Beach Road and shorten the trail distance
You can forget about trying to park here...there are essentially 10 or so “public” spots which are always full and camped out by typical California parking lot vultures waiting on stand by to take them. You can park in the Marriott lot but it costs about $7. The area is very nice; the trail abruptly stops at a water impasse or something so I couldn’t run the full 5 miles. Maybe I went the wrong way or something? Decent experience overall I guess.
