San Francisco Bay
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit San Francisco, The city by the bay
You had to come all the way to the end of the pier to have a beautiful open view of the horizon. Moreover, it’s an excellent vantage point for observing Alcatraz Island. San Francisco Bay is an estuary. It’s a mix of seawater and freshwater from the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, which have their sources in the Sierra Nevada, before flowing into the Pacific Ocean. This blend of water results in a rich marine fauna of endemic and migratory species. For example, there are various types of sharks, including leopard sharks, basking sharks, and even great white sharks! The residents of San Francisco live on the San Andreas Fault, so they can certainly be grateful for their shallow bay waters, which protect them from the Pacific Ocean in case of a earthquake. It’s beautiful, it’s rich, and it’s useful, so let’s take care of it!
