Unfortunately that U-turned road only leads to the Toll Plaza building. I tried it once hoping for a way to the beach, too. The only way I see to drive there is that last exit before the tolls, but you’ll need to be coming from the Emeryville direction and hugging the right lane. One could probably bike or hike in from the State Park.

I believe Martin's Beach is flyable -- I've recently flown just north and just south of it. Please post what you shoot!
It's my understanding that the beach is private property (or surrounded by private property). There's been considerable litigation over access, and the owner has to allow passage and charges a $10 fee. So it's not a State Beach were drones are banned, but it seems you'd have to comply with the owners rules if any.
The fee is only for parking. You can park in the dirt lot off highway 1 and walk down the road without any fee.
Here (Martins Beach, Half Moon Bay, CA - California Beaches) it says the beach is public but access to it is only available through private property. I could park for free outside of the private property on the dirt like everybody else was doing..
Because I was not sure if it is flyable, I just flew 2 minutes

Where in the Bay Area might you be? I’m thinking of getting together with some fellow forum members tomorrow sometime.
I am in Hayward but willing to travel. Would like to meet up if something can get worked out.
Anyone else interested in meeting at the Berkeley Marina area on Sunday morning? We could head to either Point Richmond or Treasure Island from there, if you’ve got enough batteries.
Nice meeting up with you guys today.
