On The Job-Beach at Aquatic Park

This foggy morning finds me at Aquatic Park and more specifically, its beach.  This beach affords the Dolphin Club members a place to start their daily swim in the cold waters of the bay.  The area is open to the public and lies just north of Ghiardelli Square and just west of Fisherman's Wharf.

Out just past the pier, A;catraz can be seen in its luxurious position in the middle of the bay.  When the weather is nice, this place makes for a great picnic area either on the sand or on the grassy area just above.

During the fireworks show on the 4ht of July or during the airshows around Fleet Week, this is the central vantage point to view the events.  If you can find a spot at the end of the pier, count yourself lucky for one of best seats in the house for seeing the rockets red glare and the bombs bursting in air or experiencing the display of aerobatics
