There is one distinction Industrial does have, however. Just off its shoreline you can view the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet. AKA the Ghost Fleet or The Mothball Fleet. A fleet of vessels that serve as a reserve of ships for national defense and national emergency purposes. The reserve fleet program was begun in 1946 at the end of World War II. At its peak in 1950, the program had more than 2,000 ships in lay-up. One of the reserve fleet storage sites is in Suisun Bay, the northern portion of San Francisco Bay. Only a small portion of vessels currently remain with the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet. In January 2016, the Department of Transportation and MARAD have officially announced the fleet closure in February 2017. All remaining ships will be sold at auction or scrapped. There are still between 5 - 10 ships left as of this writing, but you better hurry if you want to see them before they are gone!!

Benicia offers plenty of opportunities for activities that require water, such as kayaking and fishing, but also for other forms of outdoor recreation that benefit from the beautiful, beside-the-water setting. Benicia State Recreation Area: The area includes 438 acres of land with 2½ miles of paths set aside for cyclists, runners, walkers, equestrians and roller skaters. The trails roll through the marshy, grassy hillsides and rocky beaches along the narrowest portion of the Carquinez Strait. Dillon's Point is a favorite fishing spot. The State Recreation Area is also home to the Forrest Deaner Native Plant Garden sponsored by the California Native Plant Society.
Bay Ridge Trail: A walk along this trail follows the Carquinez Strait waterfront through Benicia and Vallejo. Enjoy breezes and occasional fog as you watch the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers funnel into San Francisco Bay. This route travels mostly level trails, including sidewalks, paved and unpaved trails and paths.
Matthew Turner Park: Located at West 12th Street, this park is suitable for fishing, picnicking and launching kayaks and canoes.
Benicia Point Pier: This is a great place to drop a line and see what's biting. For more details about where to go fishing, visit Benicia Bait and Tackle.
West Ninth Street Boat Launch: This is a public launch operated by the City of Benicia at the West Ninth Street Park, located at West Ninth and K streets. In addition to the two public boat launches, there are three kayak and canoe put-ins along the waterfront that provide easy access to a day of fun on the Carquinez Strait.
