When Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers escaped from Alcatraz in 1962, it is thought that they may have headed to Angel Island. Unfortunately, they left at night so they missed the incredible scenery.
Join us for a beautiful recreational swim that puts you right out in the middle of the bay. You will have views of the Golden Gate, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz and Angel Island. From Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, a charter boat will carry you to the north side of Alcatraz Island. Upon entering the water you will make the 2 mile swim to Angel Island with the incoming flood tide behind you.
Your swim concludes on the sandy shores of Angel Island. In fact, the very same beach that is in the last scene of the movie “Escape From Alcatraz”. After a brief respite on shore, you will swim back out to a boat which will transport you back to Fisherman’s wharf.
