Riding a Segway is super easy to learn and totally intuitive—your guide will gear you up and get you comfortable in no time! So grab your best pals for pure coastal cruising as you loop around the island’s 6-mile paved perimeter. Angel Island is a premier place for outstanding views of Tiburon, Alcatraz, the San Francisco skyline, and a bridge trifecta: the Golden Gate, the Bay Bridge, and the San Rafael Bridge. See the beach where remnants of a raft from a 1962 Alcatraz prison break washed ashore, and pass Camp Reynolds, the largest collection of Civil War–era buildings in the country. Roll by one of the bay’s best-kept secret beaches, and take in the knockout panoramic viewpoint above Battery Ledyard.
