I've been sharing information with some folks new to the area. Somebody asked about places for kids to play in the water. In an area with a bay and the ocean, there are tons of spots, but here are a few of our favorites.* A few are neat and tidy, while some can involve sand or even mud -- woo hoo! (Note: We find the bay beaches are generally safer in terms of currents and waves yet have greater need for foot protection from glass and other litter.)
Click on the headings below to see more about:
- Rodeo Beach, Marin Headlands (Pacific beach)
- Richmond Plunge, Point Richmond (pool at perfect tot depth)
- Stick Beach, Hercules (bay beach)
- Splash Park, El Cerrito (fountains)
- Crab Cove, Alameda (bay beach)
- Discovery Kingdom, Vallejo (fountains)
- Playground Fantastico, Napa (playground with wet sand area)
*(I don't have any photos of Lake Anza in Tilden Park, but it is a great spot too!)
