This stunning island spans approximately six acres and currently remains undeveloped. It is situated near the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, north of San Francisco, and can be accessed by boat or helicopter. Historically, the seller's family used it as a retreat, setting up tents along the beach for leisure activities like hiking and fishing.

The island features a sandy beach on its east side, while the south and west sides have a more rugged shoreline. Trails wind through the island, leading to its grassy, domed peak. In the 19th century, it was a site for manganese mining, which gives the island its distinctive reddish hue. Abandoned mining tunnels still exist, along with remnants of a fog bell once situated on a rocky outcrop. Ownership of the bell passed to the seller's father after the Coast Guard ceased maintenance. According to family stories, the bell disappeared mysteriously following an incident involving a loose Chevron barge and a subsequent salvage operation.

Prospective buyers have the option to maintain the island's natural state or embark on their dream development project. Previous proposals have suggested conservation efforts, transforming it into a hotel, marina, residence, or even quarrying its rock for highway construction.

The seller, residing in Alaska for the past 22 years, has not visited the island for an extended period. Their decision to sell is driven by the desire to secure financial resources to care for their aging mother.
