This mile and a half walk along the shoreline of the Carquinez Strait is part of the trail system at Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline Park. Named after the shrubby, succulent plant that is a common sight in the salt marshes of the area, it is a great place to take a nice peaceful stroll, or a brisk jog in the park. Small birds, such as Song Sparrows, Marsh Wrens and Western Bluebirds are a common sight along the trail, especially in the spring. You can also see Osprey, Turkey Vultures, Pelicans, Seagulls, Cormorants and Red-tailed Hawks. Wild Turkeys are also known to pop up on the trail in the morning hours, as well as Mule Deer and Coyotes.
