Oyster Bay Regional Park picnic grounds sit on San Leandro Bay with tidal mudflats, salt marsh grasses and distant Oakland/SF skyline views. Shoot low-angle shorelines, reflections at high tide, and migrating shorebirds. Best at golden hour for warm light and long shadows; weekdays and early mornings are quieter. Easy car access and free parking; flat, accessible trails and picnic amenities. No entry fee; respect wildlife and leash rules. Weather can be breezy and cool—bring layered clothing.
