Bayfront Park is located at the end of Millbrae Ave. along Bayshore Hwy. It affords good views of all four runways, but it is somewhat distant (about one mile) from 10R/28L and 10L/28R, so you'll need a long lens for photos (about 700mm to get close to regional jets). 1R/19L and 1R/19R are closer, however a chain link fence was recently built next to the runways that limits photography. | Bayfront Park is located at the end of Millbrae Ave. along Bayshore Hwy.
