Oyster Point Marina's Canada Goose

For the fifth year in a row our bonded pair of geese at Oyster Point Marina are building a nest outside the Harbormaster's office. Their first two years were not

successful with the high tide taking their eggs but the past two years have yielded many adorable goslings.

Canada Goose can live up to 24 years. And many mate for life. Wish our pair luck this year and stay away from any nesting birds at both Oyster Point Marina and Pillar Point Harbor.

West Trail Project is Underway

A site visit was conducted on March 1, 2022. Project construction is going as planned. Sediment stored at the airport for re-use has been removed and is now being used at the West Trail. An April completion date is still right on track.

Thank you for your continued patience. Parking is very limited as the West Trail parking lot is being used as a construction staging area.

Please be careful while walking around construction areas and keeps dogs leashed.

Construction Phase: December 2021-April 2022
