Visitors disembark at Ayala Cove on Angel Island, as did the first explorers who sailed into the bay.  View it on this webcam.  The island served as a detention center for immigrants from 1910 to 1940 (the island was once called the “Ellis Island of the West”), as a prisoner-of-war processing facility, and as a Nike missile defense base from 1955 to 1962.
