The beach at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach stretches for two and a half miles along the coast of the San Francisco Bay. Its current appearance is modeled after what the beach naturally looked like before it was severely eroded away by wind and water, and new sand is added periodically to ensure that this gorgeously landscaped land remains a great place for people to spend their time. The beach has sandy dunes, manicured lawns, bike trails, and picnic areas, and is a popular place for swimming, boating, fishing, picnics, windsurfing, and kiteboarding.
