Emeryville Marina

nice place to catch a view of the water, bridge . Very quiet , calming and relaxing. Good place to chill . Gates close around 10pm everyday

Nice views, nice people, fun place to do lots of things. Went sailing here not long ago, and the bay was a little too choppy. Our motor got swamped, and we couldn't get the mainsail up. We sailed back to the marina with the jib sail, anchored in the middle of the marina, and cracked open a few beers while we figured out what to do. We tacked into the gas station, then pulled ourselves back to our dock. It was a memorable afternoon, even if I did get blasted sunburnt through a mostly cloudy afternoon! Fond memories...

I came here one day after having dinner at Chevy's (very close drive if you are in the area) and it was a beautiful night! We arrived a bit after sunset, but regardless the view was gorgeous.

Pros:
-Secluded, if you like that, so you can take a nice walk without too many people everywhere
-There is a nice trail that you can walk which is by the water and the gorgeous view, so you don't have to worry about not knowing where to go.
-I'm usually a little scared of oceans and large bodies of water, but I like that in this location you walk ALONG the water rather than into it (like in Berkeley marina) so you don't get too close!  (This may not apply to many of you...)

Cons:
-The view is not AS beautiful as Berkeley Marina, which I think can be attributed to us simply being farther away and not located as favorably.

Tip: It's INSANELY cold, so make sure to bundle up if you plan to step out of your car! If not, it's a good cuddling spot as well :)

Verdict: I hope to come back one day during the day! I can see it being beautiful even then and I think I could see the SF Bay Bridge view much more clearly. A sunset here would be beautiful too.
