Continue along the paved trail. At 2.02 miles, the trail passes a Bay Trail sign and turns right to follow along the edge of the Bay. At the bend, a wide dirt trail heads off to the left to follow along the Bay towards San Lorenzo Creek. For now, follow the paved trail to the right. To the north, the waters of the Bay lap against the rocks lining the edge of the trail at high tide.
Low tide reveals a narrow sandy beach, strewn with rocks, driftwood, and jetsam.
The wide paved trail is paralled by a dirt trail. Inland, a small channel in the marsh follows the trail. At 2.30 miles, the trail passes over 4 large pipes that feed clear waters from the Bay into the marsh. Along the outlet on the Bay, the shoreline is rimmed by a narrow sandy beach. At 2.53 miles, the trail reaches the end of the large marsh and the southwest end of the Tony Lema Golf Course.
