About This Beach
Toll Plaza Beach is a little-known East Bay beach accessible primarily via car, characterized by its proximity to the Bay Bridge and resulting traffic. Reviews highlight stunning city views, especially during sunset, yet also describe significant issues including heavy trash accumulation, homeless encampments, and a general lack of amenities. The beach has shallow waters, suitable for kiteboarding and windsurfing in specific tide conditions. Although dog-friendly, overall, visitor experiences are mixed, ranging from 'awesome' seclusion to 'worst place ever'.
