When visiting San Francisco, Alcatraz often steals the spotlight as the island everyone wants to see. What many travelers do not realize is that San Francisco Bay is home to several islands worth exploring. One of the most beautiful is Angel Island State Park.

I discovered Angel Island during a Memorial Day weekend trip and was surprised by how much it offers. From hiking and biking to beaches and picnics, the island provides incredible views of the San Francisco Bay, the city skyline, and the Golden Gate Bridge. It is one of the best day trips in the Bay Area for visitors who enjoy nature, history, and open space.
