Yes, it's a real island. It's actually the biggest island in the San Francisco Bay. Think of it as the Golden Gate's very own Ellis Island, because it was the West Coast's own immigration station through much of the early 20th century. Its history goes even further back, to the Civil War and earlier. And there's nowhere better to grab those Insta-worthy pics of the Golden Gate.
Getting here is an adventure in itself. Take the ferry service from San Francisco (also from Oakland and Tiburon during peak season). Check out the tram tour or opt for bike rentals to explore on your own. You can eat at the island café, or pack your lunch.
Sometimes there's even live music performances to make your visit even more special, and yes, there are campsites to spend the night on your very own island.
