Small tidal island in Palo Alto’s Baylands and San Francisquito Creek — great for intimate waterscapes, birdlife, reed silhouettes and golden-hour reflections. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and calm water; low tide reveals mudflats and shorebirds. Accessible via nearby trails and parking in the Baylands/Greer Park area; flat, short walks but expect mud and mosquitoes in warmer months. No entry fees; respect wildlife and stay on paths.
