Alameda, California has great beaches!  Just outside of Oakland, on the south side of San Francisco Bay, Alameda was separated off from the mainland by a long trench dug for area shipping resulted in Alameda’s long and narrow shape.  Crown Memorial Beach is run by the parks district, sporting a 2.5 mile sand beach with bicycle and handicapped access, with free wheelchairs available to the public.  Shallow, warm waters make Crown Memorial Beach excellent families with younger kids.  Young adults enjoy wind surfing along the beach area, and kite flying is enjoyed by all age groups. It’s a pet-friendly place, with dogs allowed on the lawn areas.  There’s naturalist-guided programs and fishing allowed from the shore.  Online there’s great links for the Crab Cove Visitors Center.  Historic Neptune Beach Amusement Park was nearby.  You can catch a glimpse of that area from Crab Cove.  The rides are gone, but Neptune Beach’s resort homes are worth a look.

Older kids, teens, and young adults enjoy thrilling skateboard rides at the Cityview Skate Park, up on Alameda Point.  The park was built by volunteers, with paved areas for skateboarding and bicycling.  If you’re lacking skateboarding skills, enjoy watching the ships transiting the bay.
