Benicia, California
Benicia is a beautiful seaside town teeming with artistic spirit. The Arsenal, which was once a military reservation, is now an artist’s retreat where free spirits make their home-away-from-home to hone their craft and feed off of the creative energy there. For the record, “Open Studios” are always held on the first weekend in December and the last weekend in May.
Another great attraction in Benicia is, of course, the waterfront promenade area overlooking Carquinez Strait. There are three waterfront parks where you can enjoy picnicking and fishing, kayaking or canoeing. The Benicia State Recreation Area is a lovely place to go hiking along the 2½ miles of paths set aside for cyclists, runners, walkers, equestrians and roller skaters.
There is much to explore in Benicia. Art, Jazz, Theatre, and outdoor recreation are all thriving entities here for your enjoyment and so much more is waiting for you to discover. In Benicia it is “Always a Great Day by the Bay.”
