Bay Island. Make no mistake about it when it

along with well-kept Victorian homes.
Alameda was
originally a peninsula until the late 1800’s

the area. The local merchants along with local
government opened the channel off the coast
of Oakland making Alameda an
island and helping the shipping industry create
what is known today as the port of Oakland.
The west end of Alameda was
home to one of the largest Naval Air Stations
until 1997 but today has been deemed one of
seven Coast Guard Cities.
