[2] Located on the north side and western tip of the park's peninsula, Beacon Point consists of a series of decks, pathways, and stairs constructed of both steel and wood.

[1][2] Dia describes these elements as, "a series of gradual cascading steps which recall the forms of undulating waves."

[1] The most prominent feature of Beacon Point is a diagonal steel channel dividing the curving boardwalk.

At low tide it was the exposed stumps of pilings and a lot of industrial refuse.”[4]In 2001 the peninsula underwent a large-scale clean-up of debris and brush and tree pruning.
