Alcatraz Island
Admission includedStanding on the windswept dock as the ferry pulls away from Pier 33, the silhouette of Alcatraz Island grows sharper against the gray-green waters of San Francisco Bay. The island's bleached cellhouse crowns a rocky outcrop surrounded by cold, churning currents that once made escape nearly impossible. Alcatraz Island rewards the curious with peeling paint, rusting iron, and the particular silence of a place that has held soldiers, inmates, and activists within its walls.
