Fleming Point

The landscape of Fleming Point, California.
An old broken-down pier is visible in the center.

Fleming Point is a rocky promontory in the U.S. state of California. The rocky promontory is part of a band of rock, that geologists call the Novato Terrane.[1] Which has been formed through titanic clashes of plates that have pulled the rock upwards.[2] This area is the only original existing shoreline in the East Bay Region today.[3] It is situated in Albany, on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay. Albany Bulb is an extension of the point, having been formed in the 1960s from construction debris.[4]
