About this place
Ayala Cove is the public-ferry landing and foot entry for Angel Island's East Bay, Ridge, Sunrise, and Kayak environmental camps.
The camps are 1.5–2 miles from the dock; visitors must carry gear from the ferry, match the reserved numbered site, and plan around the last ferry departure and island water notices.

Boat landing at Ayala Cove: Use the signed Ayala Cove Ferry Dock access in Angel Island State Park, San Francisco Bay, California. Public-ferry campers carry gear 1.5–2 miles from Ayala Cove. Kayak Camp still requires a reservation and safe legal landing; arriving by boat does not create another camp. Angel Island environmental camps are controlled by reservations and boat access rather than a recurring closure season. Wind, storms, wildfire, water outages, ferry cancellations, and trail work can interrupt a trip.
Before driving
Confirm the assigned numbered site, ferry or legal private-boat plan, island water notice, and State Parks alerts before departure.
