You get panoramic views of the entire bay from the Berkeley marina. It is a lovely bay-side park. If you know where to go, find the Albany Bulb, which is in Albany, not BErkeley but on the same waterfront where outsider artists build interesting art all the time.

Just wear something warm. it is very windy out there on the pier. The pier is pretty long. They have a nice park around where you can have BBQ and kids can play.

This recent may I decided to take a detour from my ride home to visit the Berkeley marina. I cruise down the road any stop a few times any took a few pictures of my moped.

We had a pleasant afternoon walking the Marina, even stopped under a tree for a nice picnic. Walked the pier, stopped by the kids' building park and enjoyed watching the sailboats float by. A good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
