Menlo Park

San Francisco Bay defines the setting of Menlo Park — tidal marshes at its eastern edge and the flat Santa Clara Valley give the city a distinctly peninsula character. On the Bayfront, the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge protects wetlands used by migratory birds, while nearby Bedwell Bayfront Park opens onto the shoreline. Menlo Park is part of Silicon Valley’s working landscape: Meta’s corporate headquarters and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are located here. Downtown Santa Cruz Avenue, served by Caltrain, keeps a more local rhythm of shops and restaurants.
