Point Molate Beach with Dante

Point Molate is a quiet strip of bay shoreline on the Richmond side of the San Francisco Bay, tucked below the eucalyptus bluffs just north of the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge. It looks straight across the water to Marin, and the beach is one of the few dog-friendly stretches on this side of the bay.

A morning down on the sand with Dante.

Point Molate is also home to Winehaven, a 35-building winery complex the California Wine Association built here after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Operating from 1907 until Prohibition shut it down in 1919, it was the largest winery in the world at the time.
