Schoonmaker Point is a low lying landform jutting into San Francisco Bay at Sausalito, California. This area was created by dredge spoils from Richardson Bay during local Marin Shipyards shipbuilding activity during World War II. Schoonmaker Point is situated approximately 1.7 miles (2.7 km) south of the Sausalito/Marin City interchange of U.S. Highway 101 immediately north of Bridgeway Boulevard. The Schoonmaker Point Marina, considered by some as one of the most prestigious yacht berthing sites in the San Francisco Bay Area, is located here, along with a 2.3-acre (9,300 m²) sand beach..
