Rat Rock Island
Rat Rock Island sits just offshore in Rat Rock Cove, a scenic inlet along the shoreline of China Camp State Park. This small, rocky island rises sharply from the waters of San Pablo Bay, creating a dramatic focal point for coastal landscape photography. The best vantage points are from the nearby shoreline trails, where photographers can capture the island framed by calm bay waters. Early morning light brings soft illumination across the water, while sunset offers warm hues and silhouettes of the island against the horizon. The area is accessible via North San Pedro Road, with parking available at several pullouts and designated areas within the park. (San Rafael, California, USA)
