A lot of people erroneously think that the Pacific Ocean starts just beyond the Golden Gate Bridge, but actually the Pacific Ocean starts at Point Bonita (((shown here))) which is about a mile-and-a-half west of the bridge.
Sailors call this mile and a half stretch of water "the Potato Patch", named after the choppy water caused by the mixing of strong and conflicting currents.

This second shot of the lighthouse isn't new, but I thought you would like to see what the lighthouse looks like.
