Where is the salt flats in teh Bay Area of Cali?

There used to be salt evaporation ponds around both sides of the approaches to the Dumbarton Bridge, and salt flats/marshes to the south of there.  Some of the ponds have been closed.

You need to indicate which bay area you mean.  The San Francisco Bay area had Chumash, Hoopa, Yintuk.

Burbank, California.  It's a bar in  Boston if you mean where the story was set.

I'm assuming you mean Santa Clara, CA. If so, please check the source box for some links.

There's the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.  That's probably what you're looking for.\n\nEnjoy.

Huntington Beach in Bay Village, Ohio is a good one.  It's on the West Side.

I do not live in the bay area, but you can find many people that live in that area by going to www.americanparkour.com.  There should be a California thread and people that live in that area.

Los Angeles and San Francisco would be the big ones but there are a lot of smaller ones in the same danger area. Basically anything that is on or near the San Andreas Fault. Check the map at the link--- actually explore the rest of the site, too--- good info there!

Here is the boring wikipedia answer, there is another specific answer for California beach sand at the end:\n\nSand is an example of a class of materials called granular matter. Sand is a naturally occurring, finely divided rock, comprising particles or granules ranging in size from 0.0625 (or 1/16) to 2 millimeters. An individual particle in this range size is termed a sand grain. The next smaller size class in geology is silt: particles below 0.0625 mm down to 0.004 mm in size. The next larger size class above sand is gravel, with particles ranging from 2 mm up to 64 mm (see grain size for standards in use). Sand feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers (silt feels like flour).\n\n\nThe most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide), usually in the form of quartz which because of its chemical inertness and considerable hardness is quite resistant to weathering. However, the composition of sand varies according to local rock sources and conditions. The bright white sands found in tropical and subtropical coastal settings are ground-up limestone. Arkose is a sand or sandstone with considerable feldspar content which is derived from the weathering and erosion of a usually nearby granite. Some locations have sands that contain magnetite, chlorite, glauconite, or gypsum. Sands rich in magnetite are dark to black in color, as are sands derived from volcanic basalts. The chlorite-glauconite bearing sands are typically green in color, as are sands derived from basalts (lavas) with a high olivine content. The gypsum sand dunes of the White Sands National Monument in New Mexico are famous for their bright, white color. Sand deposits in some areas contain garnets and other resistant minerals, including some small gemstones.\n\nHere's another specific answer for California:\n\nBeaches vary in color according to the mineral content of the sand, which is also a clue to the origin to the eroded sediments that make up the sand supply. eroded shale cliffs create the charcoal gray beach sand at Shelter Cove in Humboldt County. North of Humboldt Bay, the coarse sands of Agate Beach are multicolored agates that have been ground and polished by the surf. Ground quartz and feldspar mineral make up the white beaches of Carmel, while a few miles to the north in Sand City, amber colored sand indicates the presence of iron mineral. Close inspection reveals that white sand beaches are mosaic of pale quartz grains, pink green or white feldspar and fleck o black mica.
