Hook
The 'Ellis Island of the West' — immigration-station history and 360° Bay views from Mount Livermore
More
The Immigration Station processed and detained hundreds of thousands of arrivals 1910–40, most of them Chinese, and the poetry they carved into barracks walls survives — the restored station is the island's essential stop. Ferries from Tiburon and SF; bikes welcome on the perimeter road; Civil War-era Camp Reynolds adds another layer.
