Description

A beach in San Jose? Sure! It exists in the Almaden Lake Park. Swim or relax on this tiny sandy beach or take a walk on the adjacent four miles of the scenic Los Alamitos Creek Trail. The trail has a fitness course and a very pleasant walkway that meanders with the creek. If you decide to feed the ducks and Canada geese along the lakeshore, beware! The birds can be quite aggressive.
