Hop on the ferry from San Francisco or Tiburon and experience one of the most beautiful islands in the San Francisco Bay—Angel Island State Park. Let's talk views. Looking back at San Francisco, you'll have 360 degree views of the San Fran skyline plus the Golden Gate, Bay and Richmond Bridges. Not to mention the fantastic views of the bay itself. There are several hiking trails to take you to the best vantage points.
There's a lot of history too. The open-air tram tours guide you through the island’s Civil War buildings or head to the Immigration Station. Operating from 1910-1940, it served as the main immigration processing centre for immigrants from all over the world looking to start a new life in America. Or, rent a bike and explore at your own pace.
If you just want to sit back and watch the world go by, there is waterfront dining.
