I am obsessed with Alcatraz. I plan to go next week to visit the Rock and hear the CLANG sound of cell doors closing behind me in the dark. Pier 69/Fisherman's Warf is the closest point to it in the entire Bay, so if you wanted to escape and swim in this freezing cold water, this was the best destination - except that this was also the most likely place to be greeted by a uniformed and armed welcome committee...

I have lived in SF for 26 years and have never gone on the Alcatraz tour. I have sent many visitors on it and all have said how great it is. I did try to go one time but the tours were all sold out for that day (you have to buy tickets in advance). Enjoy the tour!
