Facts and practical information

The Berkeley Pier is in Berkeley, California. When constructed in 1926, the pier extended 3.5 miles into San Francisco Bay from the end of University Avenue. Due to extensive filling of the bay and the creation of the Berkeley Marina, it presently extends only 2.5 miles. Since 1937, only the first 3,000 feet were maintained and open to the public until July 2015, when public access was closed due to safety concerns. ()
