Lots of you ask about fun places to be outside. Well, lucky us! The Bay Area is chock full of parks and open spaces. Below is information about one of our favorites—Coyote Point Recreation Area. This little gem is just off of 101 just on the northern edge of San Mateo, situated along the Bay.

This park has something for everyone. Take look. There is an admission fee of $6 per vehicle. Or, it’s free if you have a San Mateo County Annual Park Pass, which is $60.

About Coyote Point Recreation Area
Coyote Point is a regional recreation area that provides a wide variety of opportunities: picnicking, swimming, windsurfing, bicycling, jogging, fishing, boating, and sailing. Kids will love the giant, castle-and-dragon-themed Magic Mountain Playground and CuriOdyssey where they can get up close to wild
animals and enjoy hands-on science exhibits. Stroll along the beach promenade, visit the marina and its breakwater, or explore the saltwater marsh. See shorebirds, colorful boats, windsurfers, and planes from the San Francisco International Airport.
