View looking north along the shoreline near where the Hayward Fault trace vanishes beneath the waters of San Pablo Bay. Complex small-scale fold and fault-related structures can be observed in the bedrock between gravel and sand deposits.  Wave erosion along the shoreline undercuts the hillslope, causing landsliding along the scarp of the Hayward Fault.
