San Francisco - Wave Organ
From the Embarcadero we drove to the Marina to visit one of the best kept secrets of San
Francisco. I refer to the Wave Organ.
It is situated at the end of a short trail behind the Yacht Club. From there you have a marvelous view of the Gold Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island and the streets of San Francisco. You can even see the cable cars climbing and descending the hill. What is the Wave Organ? I hear you say.
It is a collect of pipes set into the water. When you place your ear against the open end of the pipes you can hear the the sound of the waves. The pipes are set at different levels so each one can produce a range of notes. For a good write up on this free attraction visit RoadtripAmerica.com.
This is one of the most relaxing places in the city and so few people visit it and hardly anyone has heard of it.
Here’s the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Wave Organ. Click on the image for a larger version.
