Angel Island State Park, the largest island in San Francisco Bay, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Visitors can hike or bike to the island's highest point, Mount Livermore, for 360-degree views of the bay. The island's Immigration Station, often called the 'Ellis Island of the West,' tells the stories of immigrants who were processed there from 1910 to 1940. Ferries from Tiburon and San Francisco provide access.
