El Estero Boating is proud to be part of a little jewel of a lake...

The lake is called Lake El Estero, surrounded by El Estero Park. Located within the park is the famous Dennis the Menace park... a one-of-a-kind playground. Our paddle boat business, El Estero Boating is located on the shore of the lake opposite Dennis the Menace Park. We are just across Del Monte Avenue from the Monterey Beach and Monterey Bay, and the Monterey Recreation Trail, just a few blocks away from Fisherman's Wharf. There is so much recreation and beauty right in our midst, come be a part of it all!
