Radio Beach, Public beach near Oakland Bay Bridge, California.

Radio Beach is a bayfront beach on the north side of the San Francisco Bay Bridge approach, past the toll plaza in Oakland. It borders the onramp to the Bay Bridge and is named for the radio towers standing on the beach. From the sand, views take in the bay north of Oakland, Mount Tamalpais, Angel Island and the Tiburon Peninsula.

The beach took its name from the radio transmission towers that have marked the area for decades. It later became known as Toll Plaza Beach because of the nearby Bay Bridge toll collection points.

The name comes from the radio towers standing on the sand, and the alternative name Toll Plaza Beach from the Bay Bridge toll booths beside it. From March to June the beach fills with kitesurfers using the bay winds, a seasonal gathering of wind-sport riders rather than a swimming crowd.

Access the beach by taking the West Grand Avenue Maritime exit and following the frontage road toward the bay. The location is straightforward to reach, though arriving early helps secure parking near the water.

The beach's name comes from the radio towers standing on the sand, and its second name, Toll Plaza Beach, refers to the Bay Bridge toll booths next door. From the shore you can see Mount Tamalpais, Angel Island and the Tiburon Peninsula across the bay.
