One day we when we were totally at loose ends, we decided to pay Stockton a visit. We’d never been to Stockton, CA; only heard of it. Stockton is the headquarters of San Joaquin County, which is one of the 58 counties of California. This city that is built on the Stockton River, seems to have grown to become what it is today because of the network of waterways around it. Stockton also proudly wears the badge of the largest inland Seaport on US’s West Coast. As such our main attraction for the day was the Stockton Waterfront.
When we got to Stockton, we drove around its streets for a while and found that it had some really handsome looking buildings. We then headed to Stockton Marina and Joan Darrah Promenade, which is one of the biggest attractions in the city. Any why shouldn’t it be; just look at these pictures from a stroll at the waterfront:

Such a pristine and beautiful riverfront. Reminded me of the waterways of Kerala.
Pristine, it was.
I'm sure it looks great in the evenings too. I should do an evening walk there.
How have you been, Nomad?
This picture just rings one thing in my head that I desperately need a short escape from my life. It looks so charming and tranquil that I could spend days here at a stretch without getting bored.
I'm sure. 🙂
Welcome to this space.
Beautiful photos,
Loved the panoramic view.

The waterfront area is nicely done up. The city has made it such an attractive area.
You are welcome, Maitreni. And thank YOU for your kind words.
Btw, l loved your mo`m's Haiku on the leaves protecting the flowers. 🙂
Love those blue skies
The blue skies added so much of beauty to this place. It made the water look all blue too.
The sky deserves so much credit too. 🙂
The status is well deserved by the city. Love the sky there…must be one of the best cities to live in the US!
The sky was lovely that day and made this place a prettier picture.
I don't know if it is one of the best places to live but the waterfront area is a great place for a stroll. 🙂
I must go look at the port, sometime.
Thank you for coming by, Alok. 🙂
Stunning pictures. Loved it 🙂
Thank you Purba.
Happy Sunday.

Shubh Deepavali to you and yours.The firecrackers going off tell me that it is not done yet!! 🙂
Thank you, Mr Amembal. 🙂
Enjoy the festivities. I hope all the noise is not bothering poor Bozo.
The waterfront is soooo…inviting with the azure blue skies…bewitching!
The blue skies sure contributed to the loveliness of the water and the waterfront itself.
Wonderful captures from the place. Gives a good idea of the surroundings there.
I haven't seen much of the city.
This area around the river is really beautiful. I must go see more of Stockton.
Beautiful shots of the place. Looks very cool.
Thank you, Rajesh.
It is a lovely part of the town.
Hey, what serene pics! What a picturesque place! The stroll mustve been very relaxing 🙂
Serene it was, the waterfront area.
It was an easy stroll. I've gotta do one some evening and see the magic light creates, there.
Thank you coming by, Leena.
You do get around.. (My kind of life! ). Years and years ago our camper van broke down near Stockton and we spent an awful lot of vacation hours there without a car, so it doesn't have great memories for me. We should go back sometime, now that we are old and our vehicle is new … If anything breaks down nowadays it will be us, not our car probably ;)))
haha!
Oh yeah? I don't know much about what else there is to see around here. I would love to go check them out and I will be doing just that, soon.
Next time that happens maybe I'll come and hang out with you. 🙂
Stockton is beautiful, just as the eyes of your camera tell us. Lucky you! Thank you for sharing those moments.
This part of the city looked truly beautiful. I see that it has more to show. I hope I'll get to bring more sights to you.
Thank YOU, USP.
