This former Naval base has one of the best Veterans Administration Medical Clinics around the Bay Area. Since the closing reconstruction has taken place and new homes has sprung up on the island. Other facilities has been popping up also such as restaurants and wine tasting rooms. Should you be in the area, stop on in and look around and if nothing is open, there is the Vallejo Marina right outside its draw bridge with Zeo Fredos Seafood Restaurant for lunch or dinner. Have a safe day.

Amazing place seeped in History and sprinkled with mystery.

Dear Papa,It was a beautiful blessed day, this day, it was our farewell to your lovely life.I say this because my Great-Grandfather Papa passed away as a Legacy in my eyes. He was one of the first Filipinos to join the the Merchant Marines on Mareisland so thats where we had our Reception. In Honor of my Papa. God bless.

Mare Island Naval Shipyard has a Veterans dental clinic located on its property and being a veteran I go there for all my dental work. Its a 45 min. ride to the city of Vallejo where Mare Island is located. The shipyard is a beautiful place, if you have spare time visit this historic place.

Wonderful hidden jewel.ive the walk and the fresh breeze off the water. Great place to destress

A lot of history, old time golf course.They have a VA Clinic there.l go there for dental care. Ex military. Very nice people.

My kids love the history and calmness of this place.

A hidden gem in the Bay Area. Very well maintained landscaping and plenty of room to ro around.

Factory_OS @ Building 680 is on the cutting edge of pre-fab, affordable and eco-friendly housing modules. Take a few minutes to Google and watch the video. Quite impressive!

Best paying recycler in the bay. Hands down. ALCO. Cool place to kick back and burn one.

Really fascinating historical shipyard, with try impressive dry docks and massive cranes. A powerful reminder of the Bay Areas naval history.

Its nice to see the older homes for officers 100+ years ago. There is a bay trail to hike to the other side of the island. Best for summer morning walks. Little shade from afternoon heat.

The security people tell you not to park here or there cause something unrelated to me happened there involving crime yet there are no signs just security harassment. Then other parts of the island kids are skidding out driving fast in their cars. Weed out the good so the bad fills the holes. Antique buildings and nice trees are being removed as well. Weather is devine and birds of prey are interesting at two walk zones.

I served in the Navy so I love going to see the older ships

Had a few hours to spare between jobs - came here with my fishing gear and just relaxed. beautiful and peaceful

I LIIKE THE WAY THE BASE HAS BEEN FIXED UP.I HAVE RECEIVED GREAT HELP FROM THE VETERANS.

Great place for PokemonGO gyms and spinning stops!

So beautiful. So much history. You can walk for hours and never get bored.

Was a Marine stationed there 1989 to 1991 whenever Im working in the area I go see it. They need to repair the old buildings especially the barracks. History is decaying.

So much potential for historical events and beauty. Hoping best plan for labor and funding can be worked out.

Went to Godfather Vino. Great wine, great music and great care to social distancing.

Super cool museum, great houses. Beautiful scenery.

Live this historical place. Dont forget to pay your respects at the Cemetery. Its beautiful

Is place where you can find peace for your self and people who like fishing there is a pier

Amazing historical landmark to check out. Love the old bunkers and sights.

Omg this place is amazing and majic... The executive director of operations. Makes you feel like a king... ;))

Love going here to walk

Its historical has been in vallejo many many years.dry docks a Toro university lots of old buildings golf course

I go here all the time with my grandpa, we love it. Its peaceful and we love the old buildings. Also there is a ship there on Thursdays you can visit and its super cool to look at. This is one of mg favorite places to go.

Very cool place to visit.

In a excellent location. S&C distillery was a pleasant change of pace although tasting was expensive, 50 bucks. Mare Island brewing was wonderful, no dogs allowed which was unfortunate. We went back across the river to their pub which does allow dogs and eat wonderful food, try the brussel sprouts!

They got a park that got mini subs, missles, torpedoes, bells, its 420 friendly. I pretty much smoke there everyday . I love this spot , you can drink here too but act like u know cause security does come around like once or twice a day, but they cool tho. I think one of them also smoke weed in his lil truck

I worked here back in 86-89.i attended an apprentiship. School for Boilermaker shop 41.The skills i learned as a civilian employee helped me to learn valueable skills.And many great memories!

History and the Future share this beautiful space

Great historic place to explore!

Quite. Beautiful place to walk.

Its refoming to civillian life much better than before...

Beautiful place. No major chain store there. Nit sure about gas station or convenience store either. Officers row houses are still beautiful. The chapel is amazing. Stained glass windows are one of a kind. There us housing and a VA outpatient clinic there, as well.

An interesting overview of architecture and history.

Very cool mix of nature and abandoned buildings for a hike!

Easy access right off hwy 37. Its now become a commercial park. Use to be a naval ship yard.its a historic navy base. Roads are redone. Lot of buildings and warehouses. But like anything old loads of buildings gone

Great place for social distancing and finding some shade in the afternoon.

Cool place to take photos.

My favorite place to go and clear my mind! Instagram @beardcharisma

V.A. facilities are awesome!.

I love the History the Ferrys and the ships.

Awesome spot for adventure seekers. Snuck into the abandoned hospital got some god shots

Nice place to hang around

Always memorable.

Very historically rich

Classic area to visit, shame that looks abandoned

I play Ingress and Harry Potter here mostly. Plenty of portals and lovely views of downtown Vallejo. Theres a wine bar now on the island, nice to relax after walking the shipyard. Do be careful though some parts are still being used.

Its an old abandoned ship yard with a great golf course and a VA clinic.

A nice clam place

Really cool. Not a very big ship but very interesting. Free. But you should donate.

Cool older buildings. It is very quiet. Nice place to walk a dog or jog

Older Naval yard security was very good staff there was very helpful

For those interested in Naval history, this is a gem of a museum. I had a wonderful time talking to the knowledgeable staff. There displays on the ships and submarines that were either built or repaired at this Shipyard. Extensive research showed. First those who are interested hands on play, a mockup of the USS Vallejo control room was on display. Its well worth a trip to Mare Island to visit this museum.

VA Dental Clinic has OUTSTANDING People working there. They gave Above and Beyond! Especially Dr. Chin and his assistant. She made everything easy and a Happy experience! Having to get replacement teeth is always emotionally straining. Thanks for an Outstanding job and the Care you give!! Hope you and your families are Truly Blessed!

Love this place, lots to learn. Everyone needs to spend some time there.

Its changed alot since I was a kid but its still nice to take the family out for a day on the pier

Great work!

Great historical place

Great memories, I work here in the 1970s so fun to go through the museum.

Its a marvelous place for some orbans photography. Rusty and interesting angles everywhere.

Ate a Little Caesars Pizza while being parked by the waterfront and drinking McDonalds soda. Perfect place to see the fireworks next year. Maybe if I still live in Vallejo

Very cool place to walk your dog play basketball or sightsee

I love the idea of nature preservation and they have nursing school so I encouraged to those young teens out there to really think about nursing careers so we will never have a shortage of nurses in the near future...

Updated buildings, restored old buildings, just still looks great after being there for over 75 years

You can just tell it is a old part of town but definitely alot of history left

Location of a historic cemetery home to multiple recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. This place has fallen into disrepair, but the army reserve has stepped in to fix things up.

Its a beautiful piece of history to walk around!

Nice quiet place .But only one problem people do side shows all week ,every where south side,north side ( even nights heard gunshots,when people making donuts and doing video shoot)...homeless everywhere on island ...Dog park full with meth heads..

Went for a private work Christmas party there and it was lovely. The view was amazing, the IPA was refreshing and staff was friendly.

Very interesting to learn the history of this old Naval base

Its full of interesting naval history, and the Museum has lots of displays that teach more!

Had some blood drawn for tests, it was great n quick no hold ups for a military facility which is how retirees like it!!!

Quiet industrial atmosphere and military clinic for veteran like me.

Great museum, they built quite a few submarines here. Everybody should go!

My daughters Loved this shipyard. I dont know why. I like to go sit by. Its really calming on the shipyard.

Good place to go for a nice place to walk

Across from the shipyard, there is a park where we a attend a yearly Pirate Festival...Fun

My family enjoys going to Mare Island, we just go hang out ride our bikes, take our dog Godzilla on a nice walk. Its nice just to go and hang out and see what they have out there and all the different businesses, it can make for a pretty interesting day with the family.

Actually used to work here. Lots of cool stuff to see. Wish the city could afford to spiff it up and make a nice park out of it.

Veterans Dept. EXCELLENT

Historical site - everyone should take time to visit...Lots to see - Historic Officer Quarters - Chapel - Cemetery - Museum

This is a good place to visit and learn about naval.

A short step back into history of a shipyard that built and refitted some of Americas most famous naval vessels. The SS-238 (USS Wahoo) among them.

The dental Clinic are very polite and helpful with my life problems with my dental needs. My appointments are scheduled around my life.

Quiet. Peaceful. Great place for dog walking or getting away from Vallejo.

They are really changing this place. Thats kind of awesome, I wouldnt mind living in the serenity.

Its a really cool place. I work on the Island and had not actually been to the shipyard yet. And was pleasantly surprised about how cool and informative it is. You should check it out. Plus they have good grubs and stuff after youre done, not far from it.

It has a great VA facility Corvettes there I take my friend there for his doctors appointment

It might be a good remembrance thing or day for the Vets and workers ( thank you for your service and hard labor), but I can not recommend this place to anyone interesting to go there. Sure, there were good times and fond memories, but this place is nothing more than a wasteland, toxic with lead, mercury, uranium, and whatnot (it used to supply our great mighty aircraft carriers). It has nice view, and great neighborhood (reminds me of Fallout), and USDA had a HQ there plus a golf course nearby, I guess... ... ... not so bad after all.(Edit) Ok, after some reasonable thinking over, it is not so bad.

Very nice place for anyone who wants to learn more about naval history. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Interesting place...

Questionable practice...

Nice place. Excellent beer.

Neat place to drive around I go there to work occasionally

Interesting place to visit. History everywhere. Will be better once they get some eating establishments up and running.
