Surprise Dad with a BBQ-Picnic in Paradise…change of scenery will do a world of good…

Discover your own Paradise Island  with a ride on the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry!

Give Dad a complete change of scenery this Father’s Day and treat him to a fun family picnic or BBQ on Angel Island State Park this weekend!  Some of the Bay Area’s best view spots can be found on Angel Island – from it’s secluded beaches – to the Island’s summit – Mt. Livermore where you will experience top of the world views of San Francisco city skyline and   Bay Area bridges such as the Golden Gate, Oakland, and San Rafael Richmond Bridge.  If Dad enjoys hiking -taking him on the 2 1/2 round trip hike to Angel Island’s Mt. Livermore may be an especially rewarding activity for the family to do together!

There are BBQ grills set up for public use at Ayala Cove , as well as at the beach in the photo above which is located near Camp Reynolds – just a short hike from the ferry dock.  

Whether you decide to pack a picnic basket full of Dad’s favorite fare, or bring along a cooler with all the fixins for a grand Father’s Day BBQ – Angel Island State Park offers the most spectacular party venue with some of the best sight seeing the Bay Area has to offer!

Angel Island Tiburon Ferry makes hourly trips to Angel Island between 10 AM and 5 PM on the weekends – with return trips to the Tiburon dock 20 minutes past the hour with the last return trip from Angel Island at 5:20 PM.

You can also pack a picnic dinner and Dad’s favorite bottle of wine or beverage and enjoy a Sunset Cruise on the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry which  run Friday and Saturday evenings now through mid-October…another great way to celebrate and/or just sit back, relax, and take a ride with us!  Captain Maggie
