Start with Benicia State Recreation Area for shoreline trails, birdwatching, and easy trailer access to picnic areas and viewpoints. The historic First Street district and the Benicia Capitol State Historic Park offer walkable museums, shops, and waterfront promenades with public parking within a short tow from likely overnight spots. Take the scenic drive along the Carquinez Strait and across Interstate 780 for wide bridge views and pullouts that are well suited to brief stops and photo breaks. Parking and campground options along these routes are straightforward, so a micro trailer makes it simple to mix short hikes, waterfront time, and historic exploration in one day.
