Welcome to San Francisco!

EarthCam and the South End Rowing Club bring you a breathtaking view of San Francisco bay from the heart of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. From this vantage point you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.

San Francisco is the 4th largest California city and the 14th largest in America. It is the second most densely populated American city after New York. It is known for its months-long fogginess, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of Victorian style homes and modern skyscrapers, and its being surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay. Famous hallmarks and landmarks include the San Francisco cable cars, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island.
