EspañolOYSTER POINT MARINA/PARK
'Oyster Point Marina/Park' is a 600-berth[1] marina and 33-acre city park in South San Francisco, California in the San Francisco Bay Area on the western shoreline of the southern San Francisco Bay.
The marina is located close to nearby job centers in various office complexes and high rises in downtown of this city known as a regional biotech center.[2] The high and increasing traffic on Highway 101 and job centers being located adjacent to this marina has led the San Francisco Bay Water Transit Authority to develop a ferry terminal here. That terminal will operate service to downtown San Francisco as well as Bay Farm Island in Alameda[3] on the opposite shore. Service will begin in 2008.[4]
In addition to boating and parkland there are 2.3 miles of sandy beaches. Two docks will be removed for the new pilings and floats based ferry terminal and the Army Corps of Engineers is setting up breakwaters in order to allow safe ferry operations.[5]
