Start at the Benicia State Recreation Area to enjoy shoreline trails, tide pools and bay vistas easily reached by road. Historic First Street and Benicia Capitol State Historic Park are walkable from nearby parking and offer museums, restaurants and period architecture to explore on foot. For longer drives, the Benicia-Martinez Bridge and Interstate 680 provide a reliable route with wide lanes and traveler services, making it comfortable for larger RVs to cross the Carquinez Strait. The Benicia Marina and adjacent coastal roads deliver pleasant scenic driving and plenty of photo stops along the water.
