Benicia State Recreation Area

This beautiful park is a gem, with incredible views of the strait and surrounding hills. Several roads and trails pass through the area, suitable for hiking and biking along the grassy hillsides and rocky beaches. There is a drinking fountain at the trailhead and vault toilets where the paved trail meets K Street. It's a great place to enjoy a picnic, watch the ships go by, or explore the marshland area on Dillon's Point.
