A popular gem right at the end of Shoreline Blvd. Great views of marshlands, inlets, estuaries, and other neat features of the Bay. Lots of birds -- geese in particular (watch out underfoot!) You can rent boats. Two nice restaurants: Michael's at Shoreline, and Shoreline Lake American Bistro. To get there, you have to drive through Google's campus, so avoid rush hour.
