        No longer a prison for some of America's most dangerous offenders, Alcatraz is part of the National Park Service and is a must-see for visitors to the city. Once on the island, you will certainly be captivated by its history and its incredible beauty. Take your camera because regardless of the view, a photo opportunity awaits. Also, dress in layers (even during the summer months) because the island can be breezy and inside the prison walls it is cold and damp. If you want to scare your kiddies into good behavior, there is a cellhouse audio tour of Alcatraz; for more info check out the website. Ferries to Alcatraz depart from Pier 33, run by Alcatraz Cruises. See website for up-to-date schedule and complete visitation particulars.

    • P Sausalito, CA Save this

      • Sausalito

        Sausalito, named for the little willow trees along the waterfront, is a scenic town reminiscent of the French Riviera. Water is the main feature of this bayside town, as evident in the many outdoor activities popular here—as well as the fact that many local residents live on houseboats, or at least within sight of the water. Peruse shops and cafés along the waterfront, watch sea lions play, visit the Bay Area Discovery Museum, take the kids to the Marine Mammal Center to lean about healing injured mammals, or see the water from a ship, kayak or sea plane.
