The Albany Bulb is a favorite regular outing of mine; I've been going there since before moving to the East Bay. It's always interesting to see what's come and gone each time with the art pieces. And, yes -- at low tide you can get out on that peninsula, which is fun. The Bulb is on my list of car-free hikes I'll be posting on the blog later this year! Nice report!

I've been visiting the Albany Bulb for years, by myself and with friends, I do photo shoots out there (just did one for a female friend yesterday). Everyone I've ever met out there is nice. There's a homeless guy who runs a library of sorts out there, even. I'm female, and have never felt unsafe or uncomfortable there. The majority of the homeless encampments have been removed, so it's slightly less sketchy. I love how the art changes constantly. It's a wonderful place!

Great sculptures, but kind of scary to run alone! I ran into this accidentally while biking a few months ago, and it rather freaked me out. Great sculptures, but kind of scary to run alone!
