Things to do in Alameda, California (CA): The Best Nature & Parks

November 27, 2021 Leonardo Torrence

Alameda (/ˌæləˈmiːdə/ AL-ə-MEE-də; Spanish: [ala'meða]) is a city in Alameda County, California, United States. It is located on Alameda Island and Bay Farm Island, and is adjacent to and south of Oakland and east of San Francisco across the San Francisco Bay. Bay Farm Island, a portion of which is also known as "Harbor Bay Isle", is not actually an island, and is part of the mainland adjacent to the Oakland International Airport. The city's estimated 2017 population was 79,928. Alameda is a charter city, rather than a general law city, allowing the city to provide for any form of government. Alameda became a charter city and adopted a council–manager government in 1916, which it retains to the present.

This park is very popular with folks out for a stroll and to enjoy the expansive views of the Bay with San Francisco off in the distance. The beach is popular in the summer, a bit cool.

Reviewed By mini - Fremont, United States

We have been to Ballena Isle Marina in Alameda a number of times This is a nice boat harbor. One can get training and also rent boats (yachts, sail boats) at Club Nautique. There is the very good yacht club that occasionally holds events for members. There are some cafes and restaurants, There are scenic views such as of San Francisco Skyline, San Francisco Bay, and the marina. Its pleasant to take a walk. One can also rent paddle boards at Mike's Paddle.

Crown Memorial State Beach

Reviewed By QuangBee - Walnut Creek, United States

Amazing beach stroll that is less cold and windy than the San Francisco’ Pacific Ocean. The area is small, but great to catch some fresh air. If you walk just two blocks out, it instantly becomes a hot and sunny pavement. Therefore, travel comfortably
