Marina shoreline
The Wave Organ is located on the peninsula that stretches east of the St. Francis Yacht Club. To get there, go west on Marina Boulevard and turn right just after Baker Street, immediately before the entrance to the Presidio. Angle right past the yacht club all the way to the end of the peninsula.
The Wave Organ looks like a set of ruins risen from Atlantis. A picturesque jumble of concrete blocks and pipes, its stunning setting offers unforgettable views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco skyline.
Though visually breathtaking, the Wave Organ was built not for the eye, but for the ear. Created by the people who brought you the Exploratorium, the Organ was constructed to capture and amplify the undersea sounds of the Bay's surging, swelling waves. Just press your ear against the openings of the tubes, and listen to the sounds of the sea.
