It’s likely even many Alameda residents do not know about the beach with the sand dunes on the far west of the city. The place has no signs and until recently, a rusty chain-link fence helped keep the curious away.
But kayakers know Encinal Beach and the nearby Alameda shoreline as an easy spot for slipping into San Francisco Bay, while fishermen gather there to enjoy the solitude and hope for a catch. Nearby residents visit for walks and to enjoy the bay views.
