Here Are a Couple of Fun Shoreside Events Coming Up This Weekend
Yes, summer has drawn to a close, but that doesn’t mean the salty fun has to stop. We’ve heard about a couple of fun shoreside events still ahead around the Bay this month.
“Yearly Sale of Cool Stuff” for Gently Used Water Equipment
Shoreline Lake in Mountain View has announced its “Yearly Sale of Cool Stuff” on September 28–29, from 10:00 a.m. till 4:00 p.m. The sale will include items from both the Boathouse and American Bistro — a large selection of watersport gear, including vessels (and kitchen equipment), will be available for a fraction of the original price.
This unique and popular annual gear sale is open to the public and provides a great chance for locals to purchase gently used (usually less than a year old), well-maintained equipment for kids and adults. The main featured items for 2024, at this point, are kayaks, windsurfers, stand up paddle boards and related equipment. Along with buyers getting a bargain on normally very expensive gear and parts (and avoiding large shipping fees), this event also helps Shoreline Lake rotate out older equipment to ensure patrons taking classes and renting equipment have access to top-of-the-line gear and can focus on enjoying themselves.
Shoreline staff will be available to answer questions and assist buyers in getting exactly what they need. See more here.
If you’re interested in a piece of gear ahead of the sale, or the dates don’t work for you, to reserve or purchase your desired item(s) outside of the sale time frame, please contact the Boathouse manager at (650) 965-7474 or email [email protected].

This event is not only a celebration of one of our favorite delicacies but also a crucial fundraiser for the Sausalito Community Boating Center. Your participation helps us open this community resource, which will provide vital access to boating and maritime education for our community.
The Sausalito Community Boating Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing affordable access to boating and maritime education. Through various programs and events, we aim to foster a love for the water and build a strong, inclusive boating community.
Our mission is to preserve a gathering place on Sausalito’s waterfront to engage and educate the public about our rich maritime history and small-craft heritage through affordable direct experience.
It is our vision that those we serve will leave educated and inspired!
Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy great food, great music, and a great cause. Bring your friends, family, and appetite to Dunphy Park for a day of celebration and community spirit!
