McNears Beach was the site of a fashionable beach resort established in the 1880s on San Pablo Bay in Marin County, California.[1] It was located 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north-northwest of Point San Pedro, and 3.4 miles (5.4 km) northeast of San Rafael. The United States Board of Geographic Names rejected other, similar names proposed for the site, including McNear, McNear Landing, and McNear's Beach.[2]
