The Strawberry Spit was once the gathering site of the endangered Harbor Seal . They used to regularly live and fish there, but once development on the spit began in the 1980s they left, never to return.

However, any vote that comes up before the residents is voted down. Strawberry is the site of a major transfer bus stop for the Golden Gate Highway And Transportation District . EXTERNAL LINKS |
