    If we are talking East Bay Regional Parks, there is a modern pier at Carquinez Strait. The most interesting stuff is what you can see from the pier, I think. Watch for trains!
    Not strictly a pier, but the old Ford building on the Richmond waterfront has a boardwalk - after that you are into marina territory.

    I like Pt. Pinole too.

    Yes, that whole Carquinez/Crockett area is interesting, esp on rainy days or evenings, but more in a rusty industrial sense.
    The immediate backroad farm areas are also nice, but can get rather windy this time of year.

    Peter, you beat me to Avila Bch. One of my fav's is the one at San Simeon (across the hwy from Hearst Castle), you can
    actually get under the pier...and get that perspective.
