if you want to explore a deeper SF and love nature & hiking w AMAZING 360 views of the Bay grab the ferry to this state park & hike up to the summit of Mt. Livermore. I brought my bike. There is a mole sub species native only to this island & the racoons & deer here are left over from when the land was all together before it broke up into the bay, BUT the ranger told me in 2017 coyotes swam across from Tiburon, mainland hence the name Racoon Strait !

Steer Clear of Alcatraz and Visit Angel Island Alcatraz is undoubtedly San Francisco’s most famous island, known for its dark history and now-defunct prison. Getting a ferry to Alcatraz sets you back around $40 per person, and for such a small island, its one million annual visitors make the place a little too crowded. Your time is likely better spent at the island next door, Angel Island, which costs half as much to get to and boasts views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. Angel Island State is the largest natural island in the bay and is home to rustic campsites, miles of hiking trails, and serene beaches with skyline views. Centuries ago, the island was a hunting ground and gathering place for the Coast Miwok tribe. From 1910 to 1940, its immigration station processed thousands of immigrants, and during the Cold War, Angel Island was home to a Nike missile base. The Immigration Museum, visitor center, and placards around the island share even more about its rich history.

Possibly the most overlooked gem in the entire Bay Area. Take a short ferry from Tiburon to this huge, quiet, island with nothing but parks. The hike around the Island has probably the best 360 degree views of the Bay. No cars. No traffic. Just a parks with picnic areas and several historic sights. HIDDEN GEM - only a few locals know about it!

Take the Angel Island Ferry to the Island before noon. Picnic in the grove near the harbor then walk around the Island to view the Bay or hike up the mountain to the campground to watch the fog roll into the Bay. Be sure not to miss the last Ferry out.
