Suisun City is located a mere five-minute drive south of Fairfield, California. Once a shipping and civic hub, the construction of Interstate 80 in the 1960s diverted most of Suisun City's commercial activity to Fairfield. Today, Suisun City prides itself on its community revitalization, a project that has transformed the city into an attraction with a historic feel. The Old Town Waterfront and the Historic Main Street Shopping District are two examples of the remodeled Suisun City and provide opportunities for shopping, dining, live musical entertainment and more. Boat excursions to the San Francisco Bay leave from Suisun and were made more accessible in the early 1990s with the deepening of the Suisun Channel that borders the city. Fishing in the Suisun Channel is another popular local activity, with sturgeon and striped bass being the most sought after catches.
