About Port Costa: The town with a population of only about 200 people, is nestled in a canyon surrounded on 3 sides by East Bay Regional Park & Ranchland and the 4th side is the water of the Carquinez Straits. Located between the Crockett and Martinez in Northwest Contra Costa County, it is an eclectic, artistic, uncommon and kind of amazing destination. Please come to visit and learn about our town and enjoy the day!
