The sea breeze, a full bar, and ferry terminals right around great dining and entertainment – why would anyone take the train?
Sailing away on a Bay Area ferry is like having your own little party cruise but much cheaper. The ocean breeze whistling in your ears, the cold beers with happy, Hawaiian shirt-clad strangers, the views of Alcatraz and the Bay Bridge – sorry BART, but why wouldn’t people take the ferry as often as humanly possible?
A quick note: We chose the San Francisco Bay Ferry, because it has more routes than the also-splendid Golden Gate Ferry. Whether you use your Clipper card, an app or a paper ticket, ferry fare ranges from $4.60 to $9.30 one way, and kids under five are free. Find details and schedules atThe scenic journey from San Francisco to Vallejo takes about an hour, and from there, it’s another 15-minute ferry ride to Mare Island.
Alden Park is a totally unique, war-tinged oasis surrounded by dozens of concrete bomb shelters. You’ll find military hardware, including a 28-foot, submarine-launched Polaris missile, exotic tree species planted by a 19th century Navy commander and an old wooden bandstand that’s perfect to lounge in while admiring the weirdness of it all .
Mare Island Brewing in the Coal Sheds is spacious enough to hide a blimp and thronged with locals enjoying projected sports games, foosball and darts, and an outdoor beer garden overlooking the industrial Napa River. The on-site Pie Wagon serves burgers with loaded baked-potato salad, shrimp louie, seasonal hand pies and other tasty delights .Both ferry terminals on the island are in slightly desolate areas that can be fun to check out, if you’re into concrete and urban ruin.
