Far off the coast of San Francisco, the Farallon Islands are a group of rugged islands located about 27 miles west of the city. They are part of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and are known for their diverse wildlife, including seabirds, elephant seals, and sea lions. The islands also have a rich history, having been used as a lighthouse site and for various scientific research initiatives. Access to the islands is restricted to protect their natural habitat.
