We started at the Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary. First, we walked southeast along Shoreline Drive to the end of the paved (asphalt) trail; and then we turned around to follow the trail northwest along Shoreline Drive -- as far as the intersection of Westline Dr. and ShoreLine Dr., near Robert Crown Memorial State Beach/Alameda Beach/Park, before retracing our steps back to the Alameda Towne Centre shopping center, where we enjoyed a Greek lunch.
