Albany

Among the cities of California, Albany stands out for its compact San Francisco Bay shoreline, positioned between Berkeley and El Cerrito. The Albany Bulb, a former construction-debris landfill on a bayfront peninsula, has evolved into a public open space known for informal outdoor artworks and access to the water. Nearby stretches of McLaughlin Eastshore State Park follow the bay’s marshy edge, while Albany Hill forms a wooded rise above the low-lying shore. Incorporated in 1908, Albany retains the scale of an independent East Bay municipality within the wider Bay Area.
