Confirmed from Point San Bruno Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxed spot for picnics, dog walking and bike rides, plus views of the Bay.
What runners say about Point San Bruno Park
“Killed time here before heading to the airport ✈️ great views of the city from this spot on the rocks.”
“A nice quiet trail for a leisurely walk any time of the day.”
Bay trail access. Walk or bike. If you walk, know that not all cyclists are skillful or give warning. If you cycle, be aware that some walkers have hearing loss or can't respond quickly. You can watch planes take off from airport.
The fishing is totally awesome here. It's a gorgeous spot. Beautiful view of the bay. Nice bicycle trail. Clean picnic tables and newer benches for viewing. Good access to the water. Seals and Otters swimming. There are some Sharks as some of the guys caught a few. 1 Leopard shark was nearly 4 foot long.
Killed time here before heading to the airport ✈️ great views of the city from this spot on the rocks. Also, really fun to rent scooters here and scoot around the trail. Great way to end our trip
A nice quiet trail for a leisurely walk any time of the day. There are benches along the path if one chooses to take a break and take in the view, with regular sighting of wild life and planes.
