Gavin and I went to Martinez on Sunday. A few weeks ago we went to the beach and he loved it, so I was looking for a place to go that was close to the ocean, but didn’t require a huge adventure over to Marin or San Francisco. So Martinez. The town was really nice – we went to the WaterFront Park for a bit, which was kind of surprising. The park is huge; it encompasses a skate park, a bunch of play structures, a marina, and tons of wide open lawn with big trees for shade. We played there for a bit and Gavin really enjoyed it.
The waterfront park is adjacent to the Martinez Regional Shoreline – a pretty substantial nature preserve with lots of trails and beautiful views. We walked around here a lot, the paths were toddler friendly and there was lots of cool nature for Gavin to check out. We even got to play on a very small beach and get sandy. The waterfront was great, we ate our lunch out there and snapped a few photos.
