Known as the gateway to the California Delta, Antioch has a prime position on the San Joaquin River. From Antioch Marina, book a boat excursion or take a guided kayaking tour of the San Joaquin river down to the Delta. Or book windsurfing or kitesurfing lessons on Sherman Island.

In the summer months, the city hosts a calendar of free events and concerts in the city parks.
Bright, sunny summers and mild winters with little rainfall, Antioch does pretty well in the weather stakes. The city has a semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers when temperatures sometimes rocket to over 100 degrees. It starts to cool down a little in fall, and there's the odd chance of rain, so it's worth packing a light jacket and an umbrella. For the best choice of Antioch vacation rentals, book ahead of the Contra Costa County Fair in June, which draws thousands to the city.
Set 45 miles east of San Francisco, Antioch is a rural city on the banks of the San Joaquin River. There are some 30 parks within Antioch city limits, including the Contra Loma Regional Park, a 780-acre parkland with walking trails and a reservoir for fishing. For more hardy hikers, an hour's drive southwest is Mount Diablo State Park. It has dozens of hiking trails, each dotted with waterfalls, creeks and fields of wildflowers, where you can spot bobcat, mountain lions, and coyotes. Guided hikes start from the visitors center.
Fly into Oakland Intl. Airport (OAK), the closest airport, located 30 mi (48.3 km) from the city center. If you can't find a flight that works for your travel itinerary, you could also fly into Concord, CA (CCR-Buchanan Field), which is 13.7 mi (22 km) away.
