Birding Walk: Point Pinole Regional Shoreline

Join us for a walk along Point Pinole Regional Shoreline to see how many different bird species we can identify throughout a variety of habitats!

Point Pinole in Richmond is part of the East Bay Regional Park District and is also a designated state historic landmark. The park boasts a myriad of different habitats, from the sandy shores of San Pablo Pay to marshland, meadows, and eucalyptus groves. Over 100 different bird species call Point Pinole home.

We will meet at the Giant Gunpowder Company landmark plaque at one end of the Giant Highway parking lot (5551 Giant Highway, Richmond, CA 94806).

Please note that Point Pinole charges a parking fee per car ($3). See more information about the park and how to get there here.

Birders and nature enthusiasts of all levels are welcome! The group will be led by amateur birders and we will do our best to help identify our local avian friends. Please bring water, sunscreen, and binoculars if you have them. If you are new to birding, a great app to download beforehand is the Merlin Bird ID app from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
