Westpoint Harbor is a marina located in Redwood City, California at the mouth of the Westpoint Slough that opened in 2008.[3]
The site previously had been a shipbuilding yard due to its proximity to the nearby cement plant.[4]
The marina took over 19 years from when work originally started to being constructed.[5]
Private commuter ferry service carries passengers from the East Bay and San Francisco to the marina, with a planned expansion for more public service in the future.[6]
Westpoint Harbor also hosts the Stanford University Treeathalon every year, a triathlon competition.[7]
