Alcatraz Island: The Dark History of San Francisco Bay ⚓️👻

Once a notorious federal prison for dangerous criminals (until 1963), Alcatraz Island sits eerily in SF Bay. (Funny story: I misheard "dark side" on the boat—but honestly, it fits!) ⚓️👻 🗣️ 🌉 🌤️ 🚢 How to Visit: - Ferry from Pier 33 (~$45/adult, departs every 30 mins). - On arrival, a guide gives a quick intro 🗣️—then explore the haunting main prison with the included audio tour (chillingly immersive!). 📸 Photo-Worthy Spots: - Grim yet cinematic views of SF + Golden Gate Bridge. 🌉 *(I edited my pics moody—it just felt right.)* - Surprise solar halo on our departure—like nature whispering, *"The dark days are over."* 🌤️ ⏳ Time Needed: ~2 hours. A must-see for history buffs + thrill-seekers! #Alcatraz #SFTravel #DarkTourism #AbandonedPlaces
