A beautiful spot!…read more The Berkeley Marina quickly became one of my favorite weekend spots while going to school in the city. There is something here for quite literally everyone of all ages and physical capabilities. I visited on a warm Saturday afternoon and was pleased to see there were people literally everywhere. On the land, there were dozens of children playing on the playgrounds. My friends and I were walking by the Adventure Playground (a wooden, quite industrial-looking play area), where we heard what sounded like the hammering of wood. I jokingly asked, "what is that noise? Are the kids in there building the playground themselves?" To my surprise, they literally were. This playground offers the unique opportunity for children to build and design the play area themselves. There are forts, towers, and even a zipline. This is a great way for kids to build community and work with their hands. Right next to this is a more "traditional" playground with slides, swing sets, and all the works. There are also many walking/running trails around the whole marina. Along these paths there are benches and tables where you can have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful view of the bay. You'll see people being active throughout the whole area. The main paths are paved so they are accessible to those with mobility issues. There are public restrooms available that are relatively clean. The water activities are endless here. There are kayak rentals, sail boats, and just plain swimmers. There are multiple docks to launch small crafts and to take a dip. In the shallower beachy areas, there were children swimming. If you look off to the distance, you'll see the strong open water swimmers practicing in their wetsuits. You may even see people learning how to use a hydrofoil board. People are often flying their kites off the bay's breeze too. I believe this is truly a spot for everyone who enjoys the outdoors. But, must I warn you...beware of the squirrels because they WILL run up to you and they sure aren't shy.

Replace the harbor master Robert Gardali. A very Rude person . I have sent my application and all…read moredocuments in line . I was told by one of the employees to come to the Marina to finish my application and bring my boat and dock my boat ,it was Memorial Day Monday . Before I got to the marina I called and talked to some one and got their permission and gave me the permission to dock at 1161 or 1162 slips .so I did then I went to the office he told me to call Tuesday morning . I did call Tuesday morning and I was told that some one will call me back . I received a call back from the harbor master Robert Gardali . Who had zero manner and doesn't know how to talk in a nice civil way . He told me I am not authorized to have my boat there and no one gave me a permission to dock my boat at the marina . He was yelling over the phone giving warning to move my boat and I have 24 hours to Move it or it will be moved and disposed . He would not listen to what ever I say . Wednesday I went to the marina to move my boat , the lady at office was super nice with a nice friendly amazing smile . She gave me access to the gate . I was prepping my boat to leave , then Robert Gardali showrd up , he was calm at that time . I asked him the reason for what happening ! he told me the same thing over the phone I told him i was given a permission to bring my boat to the marina . He called me a liar and said what ever he said over the phone . I let him talk without any interruption and when I was about to start taking he started walking away . I told him I listened to you and it's his turn to listen to me . But he stared walking away me raising my voice I told him That is very disrespectful and he needs to be on the same page with his employees . The last thing he said that he has the power to move me out of the marina and walked away . I started my boat , filled up gas and left the marina on a windy rough day in the water . He has no right in his position to talk to any one like that or disrespect people . Very disappointing a clerk of San Mateo county to behave like that .

Camp has a day sail and paddle boarding planned for the kids! Look out at the beautiful harbor and then off past the docks to the stunning San Francisco Bay. There's plenty of sun- fog burns off by early morning- so zinc-based SPF protection is a must (a hat would be a good idea, too). Restrooms are available in a small stone building at the dock.

I enjoyed that it's minutes away from the none stop speed racers on 101 (and everyday life stresses) It truly was unexpected and viewing the waters was very relaxing. Hard to explain on screen, but it was natures relaxer for me. Grabbing a bite to eat near by Or pack a brown bag or a picnic basket are in my horirons, plus bring a sketch pad and just doodle away. I also noticed a doggie park, so furbabies will be happy to run (with the wind :) Ps. I don't own a boat lol...maybe in the next life :)

The bathrooms were nearby and they weren't too bad! The amount of new buildings in this area is fantastic to see. There are many tech companies and of course Genentech. After driving past all of this, you'll enter the marina area. Many people launch their crafts from here. Others like to fish or hike. Everything changes when you reach the marina. It's peaceful, calm and beautiful. It can get windy so be prepared. Side note--the road leading to the water is in desperate need of repair. I have never seen such big dips in a road like these.
