At Ayala Cove a large meadow with picnic tables and barbecues is popular with day trippers, and the nearby cafe serves much better food than most places that cater to a captive audience. There are also slips for private boats that want to stop on the island and anchoring buoys for boats that want to spend a night at Ayala Cove. There are twelve miles of roads and trails for hiking and ten miles of road open to bikes. For the less energetic there's a motorized tram with a headset audio tour. The park is open daily year round 8 a.m. to sunset.
Some services are available on a more limited schedule as noted below.
The Angel Island Association can also provide guided tours at other times by special request. You must carry your gear two miles to the campsites and carry out all trash.
