Discover Alameda’s Must-See Attractions!
Alameda isn’t just a pretty face in the Bay — it’s packed with unique spots that blend history, nature, and local flavor. Step aboard the legendary USS Hornet Museum, a floating piece of American history that once recovered Apollo astronauts. Then head to St. George Spirits, a distillery housed in a former naval hangar, where handcrafted cocktails meet panoramic bay views.
Craving the outdoors? Crown Memorial State Beach offers sandy shores, windsurfing, and birdwatching at the Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary. Families love the Crab Cove Visitor Center, with its interactive exhibits and 800-gallon aquarium. And for treasure hunters, the Alameda Point Antiques Faire — held monthly — is Northern California’s largest vintage market.
Feeling nostalgic? The Pacific Pinball Museum lets you play your way through decades of pinball history. Or stroll through Downtown Alameda, where over 450 locally owned shops and eateries bring the city’s creative spirit to life.
