Fun Facts

Before becoming a state beach, the area was used by the U.S. Army for amphibious training during World War II.

The beach is a popular spot for birdwatching, with species like the endangered California least tern making appearances during migration seasons.

The beach was named in honor of Robert W. Crown, a California State Assemblyman who was instrumental in its preservation as a public space.

The Crab Cove Visitor Center offers interactive exhibits about the local marine environment and its history.

The beach is part of the East Bay Regional Park District's efforts to protect and restore natural habitats along the San Francisco Bay shoreline.
