The walkway on either side of the Canal provide gorgeous breezy views of passing yachts and freighters. Good fishing and Seafood Sams is at the northeast end of the Canal for affordable and good eats. More

I go to the canal at least every summer. It's beautiful and relaxing. It is great to park by the bridge and ride your bike, walk your dog, go for a jog, have a picnic etc. Watch the boats coming down the canal and enjoy the fresh sea air. I see lots of people fishing but I've never done it... More

The canal really is scenic, and well landscaped for public enjoyment. And you don't have to cross the bridge! More

If you do not take time to sit and just look at it, you have missed a great experience. You maybe lucky enough to see a boat or two. Not too much boat traffic off season, but just a fun thing to see.
