San Francisco, California

Location

San Francisco Bay is virtually enclosed by two peninsulas, one pointing northwards and the other pointing southwards, which nearly join each other. The northern peninsula is called the Marin Peninsula.

The Golden Gate Bridge joins the tips of the two peninsulas.

The southern peninsula (which points northwards) has the city of San Francisco at its northern tip.
