Berkeley Pier

The Berkeley Pier is a pier in Berkeley, California. When constructed, the pier extended 3.5 miles (5.6 km) into San Francisco Bay from the end of University Avenue. Due to extensive filling of the bay and the creation of the Berkeley Marina, it presently extends only 2.5 miles (4.1 km). Currently, only the first 3000 ft (0.9 km) are maintained and open to the public.

Famous quotes containing the words berkeley and/or pier:

    Religion is the centre which unites, and the cement which connects the several parts of members of the political body.
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    Duccio came not by usura
    nor Pier della Francesca; Zuan Bellin’ not by usura
    nor was ‘La Calunnia’ painted.
    Came not by usura Angelico; came not Ambrogio Praedis,
    Came no church of cut stone signed: Adamo me fecit.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
