Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out
Thursday, August 17, 10 am - 2 pm
Eckley Pier at
Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline
Bull Valley Staging entrance
166 Carquinez Scenic Dr., Crockett CA 94525
(Please note, the trail closures mentioned on the website are not in the area where we'll be painting)
Let's go back to Eckley Pier, part of the Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline Park in Crockett. This location has a beautiful mix of natural shoreline, water vistas and manmade structures old and new.
Driving tip: I have the best luck entering from the Crockett side instead of the Port Costa side, which can be very confusing. I've heard that GPS can send you on a wild goose chase, so it's helpful to study the map in advance. I'm attaching a paint-out map to help you find us.
Enter the park at the Bull Valley Staging area, then drive down to the parking lot on the lower level where you’ll find Eckley Pier and shoreline views. Or you may prefer to park in the first parking lot at the top of the hill and paint the panoramic views of the Carquinez Strait. There’s also a good view of a classic old barn from the top level.
There’s a restroom at the top level and a port-a-potty at the pier. Bring your own water. Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
