In years past, there has been no weekday ferry service from Tiburon to Angel Island except for special charters. The Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry Company pilot program will provide more access to Angel Island State Park. Bikes can be brought on the ferry and used on the main roads. Pets are not allowed on the island, with the exception of service animals.
Angel Island has a unique history and many incarnations. It has been a prime fishing and hunting site for the Miwok, a cattle ranch, an army post and an immigration station, a missile base and a determent camp during WWII. It became a state park in 1958.
