Angel Island
is rich in local history. The Miwoks used it for
thousands of years before the Spaniards arrived.
Ayala Cove was the staging area for the earliest
water-based exploration of the Bay Area in 1775.
Following many years of Spanish control of the island,
it served as both a military base and the site of two
government facilities (quarantine and immigration
stations) for nearly 100 years starting in the
mid-1800s. Many of the buildings from these times
are still standing. Not to mention the beautiful
360 degree views of Marin & San Francisco!
