Benicia Coastal Adventures
Almost any time is a good time to go
kayaking ...
it's always fun to get out on
the water!
We plan our adventures around the currents and
tides.
OR call us to arrange a date and time that works for you.
Benicia is a picturesque and historic town along a
beautiful stretch of the Straits. The coast is quite scenic on both sides:
open space hills on the opposite shore with Mt. Diablo in the distance,
and cool houses, piers, rocky cliffs and vest-pocket beaches to check out
on the Benicia side.
All of our Benicia adventures launch from the newly
remodeled dock at the 9th Street Park. It's a beautiful spot for a pre- or
post-paddle picnic. There's also plenty of parking and brand new
restrooms! Benicia also has a number of great restaurants for post-paddle
dining.
We offer four Kayak
Benicia! adventures - all launching
from 9th Street Park:

& Group Rates
Explore the Benicia Coast
This is a great way to get out on the water -
particularly for the first time. Once we've launched, we'll paddle
west around Commodore Jones Point and check out the view of the
bridges, then head leisurely east along the coast to Benicia Point.
After a break, we'll play with the wind and waves as we paddle
back.

Explore the Carquinez Straits
If you'd like a longer paddle, we'll continue up
the Benicia coast past Benicia Point and take a break at 1st Street
Beach. Then, we'll paddle out explore the islands off Benicia Point
and cross the Straits to Castaway Beach. Quite an adventure - ideal
for novice kayakers. |

We'll take you on an extended adventure along
the Benicia coast, out to the islands off Benicia Point, then across
the Straits to Castaway Beach. After a break, we'll continue on to

great way to really experience the Carquinez Straits! |
