Park Street and Webster Street anchor daily life with indie coffee spots like Julie's and Wescafe, the restored Alameda Theatre & Cineplex, and a dining scene that runs from tiki classics at Forbidden Island to waterfront breweries at Faction and Almanac. Weekend staples include beach walks along Crown Memorial State Beach, paddleboarding and sailing on the estuary, biking the Cross Alameda Trail, and romps at Washington Park's dog area and Jean Sweeney Open Space. Shopping is easy at South Shore Center and Alameda Landing (with Safeway, Trader Joe's, Target), plus gyms like Bladium and boutique studios. The ferry, AC Transit, and nearby tubes make it commuter friendly.
