August 26, 2025, View of San Francisco International Airport and Waterfront

Millbrae is located in San Mateo County, just south of San Francisco and right next to San Francisco International Airport (SFO). It's perfectly situated for travelers and commuters, with excellent connections via BART, Caltrain, and SamTrans.

The San Francisco Bay Trail aims to encircle the entire bay across 500 miles of trails, paths, and roadways. As of now 2025 it is roughly 80% complete with over 350 miles open for use. This section along the water can be hiked in a loop, or connected to the wider trail to access other areas around the bay.

This small park punches well above its weight. There are great fishing, bird watching, and wildlife viewing opportunities. It's also located just south of SFO, so plane watchers can get their fill of watching the take-offs and landing.
