An industrial-seaside ruin and former seaplane/rail spur on Richmond’s waterfront offering gritty concrete textures, rusted rails, tidal pools and wide views across San Pablo Bay. Shoot low for strong foreground leading lines, include the bay and distant ship/bridge silhouettes. Best at golden hour or blue hour for color and long exposures; low tide reveals more foreground detail. Easy roadside access and nearby parking, but respect fences and private lots.
