About Redwood Shores
Where to stay in Redwood Shores
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Work brings most people. Oracle Corporation, Electronic Arts, Nintendo, Zuora, Qualys, Crystal Dynamics and Shutterfly all keep addresses in Redwood Shores, so a room on this shoreline is usually booked against a meeting rather than a sight. Redwood City carries the wider choice, and from the western shore of San Francisco Bay the rest of San Mateo County is quickly reached.
About Redwood Shores
What are the main landmarks in Redwood Shores?
Marine World is the single landmark the record attaches to Redwood Shores. Beyond it, the recognizable names are corporate rather than civic: Oracle Corporation, Electronic Arts, Nintendo, Shutterfly and Crystal Dynamics all sit on a shoreline that faces San Francisco Bay. There is no old quarter.
Redwood City keeps the museums and the civic buildings a visitor would otherwise look for.
What is the history of Redwood Shores?
You will not find a founding year for Redwood Shores. Redwood Shores reaches the register as a waterfront community of Redwood City rather than a town in its own right, its ground laid along the western shore of San Francisco Bay and its name carried since by Oracle Corporation, Electronic Arts and the firms listed beside them. Marine World belongs to that same shoreline record.
San Mateo County holds the paperwork.
Where is Redwood Shores?
Redwood Shores holds the waterfront edge of Redwood City, meeting the western shore of San Francisco Bay where the San Francisco Peninsula fronts San Mateo County.
