SUP Explorer - The Best Places to Stand Up Paddle Board

The Berkeley Marina is a great spot to take it easy or to go on an adventure. Either stay in the protected area or go out beyond the restaurant point and explore more of the open bay. It's very safe because winds and tides blow you towards land. There's lots of other water explorers around you and plenty of sea for everyone. Hangout with swimmers, kayakers, windsurfers, and sailing aficionados. Plenty of parking, great amenities such as bathrooms, hose for cleaning, outdoor shower, corner store. This place if a gem for anyone who lives in an urban area and needs to get away.
