Access to the Island is by public ferry from San Francisco, Tiburon and Vallejo or by private boat. The beaches at Quarry Point and Ayala Cove are sandy and protected from the afternoon breezes. The water at Perle’s Beach is considerably rougher, and the beach is more exposed to wind and weather. The view is spectacular and Perle’s Beach is a delightful place for beachcombing.
