Guide to Point Richmond
Sightseeing
This is a park that is about a 10-15 minute walk from our place. It is gorgeous with views of the city and multiple bridge views including the Bay Bridge and San Rafael Bridge. It also has a sand beach if you want to try to swim.

900 Dornan DrThis is a park that is about a 10-15 minute walk from our place. It is gorgeous with views of the city and multiple bridge views including the Bay Bridge and San Rafael Bridge. It also has a sand beach if you want to try to swim.
This is the location of what the folks in the neighborhood call the Secret Beach. At the end of Western Dr., there is a staircase that goes down to this beach, between 2 houses. It is about 200-300 feet of shoreline and is a bit rocky. While not the best beach to swim due to rockiness, it is a great place to take pets to cool off. It also has a view of the city that is spectacular.

This is the best view in all of the neighborhood, especially at sunrise or sunset. You can view all 3 bridges from here, Golden Gate, Bay Bridge, and San Rafael Bridge as long as the visibility is clear. We actually think this is one of the best views in all of East Bay/San Francisco. Frequently, you will find wild turkeys roaming this area as well. If you were going to go to one place in the neighborhood, this would be my recommendation.

Food scene
We think this is the best pizza in Richmond. A bit pricey but worth it. They don’t really have dine in, so order to go or for delivery.

If you love Chicago deep dish, this is the place to go. Some say it is as good or better than Giordani’s or Lou Malnati’s in CHI. They have sit down but call to check in as they get busy.

Best chain burgers on the west coast. Do yourself a favor and research the In N Out secret menu on Google. I get my burgers “Animal Style”. Neopitan shakes are solid too.
