Considering that I was born and raised in the Bay Area, it took me nearly half a century to visit "Berkeley Waterfront". And considering just how much nature surrounds the 9 Bay Area counties, this has been one of the more popular areas that attract trails and pathways where you will see walkers, runners, cyclists, parents with strollers, and lots of dogs. Located at the very end of University Ave. and just about 1/2 mile from I-80, accessibility to this Marina is very convenient. I came here during the evening of Saturday 7/16/2022 from 7:30-8:30pm. I wanted to get a view of a perfect sunset and I must say, this place does not disappoint. During my arrival, there were other people also taking full advantage of the picturesque views while soaking it all in. As far as parking, it is free of charge but can fill up rather quickly during peak hours. The road to get here is not paved up to standards so it can get a little bumpy if you drive a smaller passenger car. I think a serious repaving is way past due since it has probably been a few decades since this has been done. On a brighter note, this particular marina has a ton of fun activities; one of which is the UC Aquatic Center that offers a variety of water activities including swimming, sailing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, and sea kayaking. However, since this was during the evening hours, none of these were taking place. From what I witnessed in the short time I was here was a large grassy area suitable for picnics. You will also find activities that are kid friendly including Adventure Playground and Shorebird Park Playground. As far as some of the other offerings nearby are a hotel and a few restaurants to choose from; one of which is "Skates on the Bay" overlooking the Bay as well as "Hana Japan Steak & Seafood" that runs parallel to University Ave. There are a few trash bins (many of them were overflowing though) as well as public restrooms. One of the most prominent landmarks here is the Berkeley Pier which was closed during my visit. However, you can witness amazing views of San Francisco and on a clear day, even the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. All in all, "Berkeley Marina" is an above average spot to visit especially if you're looking to get a view of nature and are on a budget. Keep in mind that you will see some homeless camps and vagrants around this area but they usually keep to themselves. And some of the trash piling up is a sign of the times with much of the funding being cut in these public areas. If that doesn't bother you, then this is a decent place to check out. My rating, an above average four stars.
