Westpoint Harbor is amarina that opened in 2008 at the mouth of theWestpoint Slough located inRedwood City, California.[3]
The first development on the site in the 19th century had been a shipbuilding yard with close proximity to a cement factory. After 1918, when the cement plant closed,Leslie Salt used the site as a holding pond forbittern.[4]
The marina took over 19 years from when the idea was conceived originally to being constructed completely. Three years were spent obtaining the land from the ownerCargill who owns several nearbysalt ponds. An additional 12 years passed obtaining permits from various agencies to commence construction which took another four years due to heavy rains.[5]
Private commuterferry service carries passengers from theEast Bay andSan Francisco to the marina, with a planned expansion for more public service in the future.[6]
The harbor and theSan Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission have been at odds for years over various regulations and permit enforcement with the commission in early 2018 attempting to levy more thanUS$500,000 (equivalent to $626,093 in 2024) in fines.[7][8]
