Lands End says it all. Go any further and you are probably going to get wet!

Point Bonita--an accurate name also. "Bonita" in Spanish means "nice", "beautiful", or "pretty". I probably would have named it "dramatic".

And in this photo you can see both Lands End and Point Bonita. This is the entrance to the Golden Gate. The 2-1/2 mile width looks adequately wide in this photo, but heavy fog has always been a navigational problem. Over the years more than 300 ships have been unable to thread-the-needle, resulting in tragedy.
