Benicia State Recreation Area is a reserved area administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. It is located in Solano County, near the city of Benicia.

Benicia State Recreation Area covers 720 acres (3 kmĀ²) of marsh, grassy hillsides and rocky beaches along the narrowest portion of the Carquinez Strait.

Cyclists, runners, walkers and roller skaters enjoy the park's 2.5 miles (4 km) of road and bike paths. Picnicking, bird watching and fishing are also attractions.

The marshland area on Dillon's Point is a particularly favorite place for fishing. Vehicles can enter the park through a toll gate.
