Castro Point
Castro Point is a cape in western Richmond, California, United States.[1]
History
Castro Point was once the east shore landing for the Richmond-San Rafael Car and Passenger Ferry that crossed the San Pablo Bay.[1] It was also the western terminal for the East Shore and Suburban Railway connecting trains from Downtown Richmond and Oakland.[1][2] The cape is the best launching spot for viewing the seals on the Castro Rocks underneath the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and the cape is largely located in Point Molate Beach Park in addition to a Caltrans maintenance facility owned by the state of California.[1][2]
