Emeryville Marina is my "go-to" place for a nice stroll or bike ride. We finally had a break from the rain today so I was able to hit Marina Park for a walk. They have a nice paved trail along the water that takes you all the way around the park. Parking is available in the lots within the park, admission and parking are free. On warm days you can find a nice spot in the grass to picnic or watch the sunset. There is also bench seating available throughout the park in case you'd like to grab a seat. The views of San Francisco, the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge are unmatched! This is also one of the best places to watch fireworks on the 4th of July. If you're hungry, there are a few restaurants within walking distance of the park as well, Hong Kong Lounge is the closest, followed by Trader Vics and then Chevys which is a little closer to the freeway. Overall, great place with great views. Highly recommend!
I love stopping here for a quick break on motorcycle rides before I cross the Bay Bridge. It's right off the highway and has lovely views of the bay. There's no entrance fee and it has plenty of parking spots close to the water. There's also a walking path that loops around the marina which is great for puppers. The area is clean and usually drama free. There's a few grassy areas that are great for picnics and a few spots seem to be very popular for fishing from the shore.
** The following review reflects my experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** To me, Emeryville is about the three P's - Pixar, Peet's, and the Public Market. Oh yeah... and IKEA, too. So I didn't think much about the strip of land on the other side of 80. I knew the old-school Chinese restaurant was over there as well as Trader Vic's for a mai tai bender, but that was about it. So in my constant search for places nearby to get my steps in, Jamie W. and I decided to drive over and follow the narrow walkway around the perimeter of the skinny peninsula that curved north into a park setting. It's an easy walk, fully paved, and quite pleasant with the constant bay views. There's a breakwater extension that's primarily used as a fishing pier. Yay! More steps. There are public restrooms available along the way, not to be mistaken for the private yacht club restrooms. I guess I know my place and will keep my distance... for health reasons, of course.

The Emeryville Marina is kind of my sanctuary during Shelter in Place. It's small but quite scenic and peaceful. The view is excellent. You can see the Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Oakland, and SF across the Bay. I've come here countless times for a walk and run. It is important to go outside and get close to nature to clear my mind. Although it rarely gets hot in the area, the temperature can go up to 90 degrees for a couple of days in the summer. The marina is a great place to cool down. There are picnic tables and benches to sit and a couple of restaurants nearby. Plenty parking. Overall, a terrific neighborhood park!
This is a small Park at the Emeryville Marina!! This small park is Kite central, as I almost always see someone flying their kites because of all the winds. Also a good place to BBQ, there are a few grills in the area. The views here are awesome, SF, Treasure Island, the Bay Bridge, and just the Bay itself are all in play. Another great Bay Area park!!!
A wonderful park to hang out and enjoy a warm sunny day. Great views of the bay and watching planes land at OAK make this a beautiful destination in the Bay Area! Lots of green grass to do tons of activities and they also have tons of picnic areas as well. The paved paths are great for bike riding.
I just looked up places to watch the sun set and this was the first on the list. So nice. Got a nice picture to remember this area by. There are people walking around so it's nice to just chill here and enjoy the serenity.
Some of the most beautiful views of the bay area in the east bay. My ex lives right around the corner from here, but I risk the awkward run-in just to take it all in. If you stand at the corner of the Marina, close to where Hong Kong East Ocean is, You will have the most incredible 270 degree view of the bay. A fantastic place for a jog, dim-sum, dog-walk, or a combination of the three. Or you can come here to share a Mai Tai with Alex C. at Trader Vic's, I'm sure he is more than willing.
I like to come to this Marina over Berkeley Marina because it seems to be well maintained. Berkeley Marina seems to have a bug problem. We went there the other day and our blanket was infested with what seemed to be flying beetles. The Emeryville Marina is much calmer. It's a great place to take walks, picnic, or sleep . You get a great view of the Bay Bridge and if the skies are clear you can even see the Golden Gate. There are a lot of benches and places to sit. I come here pretty often with my girl to sit and enjoy the scenery. This place is very windy, however, so if you want to find a place for an outdoor party, look elsewhere. The view spans from the Oakland Port to the Albany Hills. Plenty of parking and just a great place to think.
Marina park is a great little place to getaway. After a crazy day when I just want to walk and chill I will usually hit this place up. It's a great location that has some amazing views. Normally I'd you're in the way bay you get stuck in the crazy traffic going to coming from SF . this place is a great chill spot right of the highway. They have a great trail to walk or jog . lots of benches to just relax . don't let me forget the view of SF amazing when it's clear. Even when it's not clear if shows the true SF. The parking is plentiful. It's also close to a few restaurants if you need a bite too eat. Make sure you by at least once if you're in the area!
I want to say that this place sucks because it's so AWESOME and I do not want to share lol. So let's just keep this place a secret. Better then the Richmond, Berkeley and San Leandro marina. It's a great place to get your mind straight, get some fresh air, take a walk and take advantage of the best views in the bay. Sometimes I tend to forget that I was born and raised in the best places ever, The Bay Area. With views like this, you cant help but be proud ;)
An awesome spot for a picnic/cuddle time/views of the Bay. Headed out with friends this past weekend and it was fab. Used one of the several public BBQ pits and grilled ourselves silly. Set down blankets and had a cuddle-fest while we drank away the day and discussed inappropriate topics. Watched the sunset with great views of everything depending which way you were facing. Not many people around despite it being a holiday weekend. Bring blankets and jackets, or do what we did and cuddle to keep warm - it was pretty windy but tolerable. sunset pics at the marina: http://www.flickr.com/photos/evolutionofchase/sets/72157622026504806/ peace, love, and good booze ~ chase
Top secret, hidden from the public view fire pits...some intimate enough for romantic smooches (or more, if you're me!) and some are big enough for big bbqs with family & friends. A great to watch swimmers, kayakers and oil rigs drift by on the lapping tides. Theres a public dock to get your craft into the water and a sink to clean your fresh caught fish in if you're like that guy hanging out at the end of the pier. Walking my dog at sunset doesn't get any better that this -- the most spectacular views of San Francisco and the Bay you can find below the hills. Besides, with Trader Vics Tiki Restaurant and Bar on the way home, who could resist? East Bayers take note: this could be your ultra cheap & ultra romantic valentines day idea!!!!
Very elegant Marina to view San Francisco! I went to the Marina park at San Leandro and now here at Emeryville. I later learned that there are multiple marinas in the Bay Area and so far, I went to two of them as of today. This is pretty much like a smaller peninsula of the marina where you can relax and picnic here. It's really a great place to come here in the morning to get some breeze and walk around it. There are multiple benches here and that's really good because when sitting, you're basically viewing the peninsula, San Francisco, and as well as the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. It's quite naturalistic here with much greenness here. I heard that you can make reservations to picnic at the benches. Also, there is a free 4-hour parking limit here and that's very long and that's fair enough since this parking lot isn't large especially when some parking spaces are reserved for permit holders or marina members I think. read more
Beautiful marina with plenty of free public parking spots next to the water. Nicely maintained walking path, green spots, long pier, water fountain for cleaning, expansive 180 view of the bay from Oakland, bay bridge, to Golden Gate Bridge all the way to 580-Richmond. Many benches for seating and viewing the sunset as well as tables spots for picnic. Access is easy off 580. read more

This view is amazing. we tried to come here for the 4th of July. When we arrived the parking lot was full by 10:30 ish. after a few laps we found a parking spot. Not the greatest stalls around, being that they are so close together. Some people take up 1 & 1/2 due to their parking skills. There were a few sites available with a BBQ pit, which of course all were taken by the time we tried to find one. in between there is a large enough gap for your own BBQ pit and set up shop. In between site B &C you have the public bathrooms. As we unloaded the car and setting up little by little. You can feel the freezing winds picking up. As we waited for the rest of our group, it became SO COLD! We ended up taking off. The cold winds became unbearable, even with the sun shining down. We were told it isn't usually that cold. We shall see next time. read more
Beautiful place with a beautiful view! I look to come here and just sit in my car (out of the wind) and enjoy the sun shinning on the water with the city in the background. You can even see the Golden Gate Bridge when it's not too overcast! read more

My family and our friends were there on Sunday. Really beautiful place with a great view and nature. But it was so windy that after couple of hours it was so cold that we just found better place for barbecue. Maybe when the weather is hot and no wind it would be perfect place for spending time with family and friends. read more

Awesome views of the bay and the bridges! It's well maintained though and the pier heading toward the east bay hills is quite nice. But parking can be difficult on a weekend. read more
