There is lots to do in Benicia: shop, spas, explore, take a nice stroll/ bike ride on land or bring your kayak, SUP, or dinghy to explore the area on the water! There is also a glass blowing studio and pottery studio that we can go create beautiful pieces of art. Bring wine & cheese and have a great time!
