Plans

Aim to arrive slightly before 16:00 to maximize meetup potential, subject to New Year's Eve plans. Tide should be relatively high but falling then, judging by a couple sources I found. Sunset is around 17:00.

This is CA Fish & Wildlife land, but fortunately closed to hunting. Otherwise the Internet knows very little about the location. Google Street View reaches as far as the intersection of Iolanthus Ave/Norton Ave/Days Island Rd, at which the latter has what appears to be a "Road Closed to Unauthorized Vehicles" sign. So the plan is to park near there at 15:30 or so and walk the last 0.5mi out the road.

Investigate shore access from both ends of the road, or near the single house just inland of the hashpoint. Try not to get stuck in the mud.

(Some nearby hashpoints also look interesting: 39 -123 can likely be parked on top of, and 38 -121 also might be reachable. But those are a long way away.)
