  San Francisco Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Francisco Bay is located in the US state of California, surrounded by a contiguous region known as the San Francisco Bay Area, dominated by the big cities San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose.
San Francisco Bay is spanned by five bridges: the Golden Gate Bridge (which was the largest single span suspension bridge ever built at the time of its construction), the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the Hayward-San Mateo Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge.
The San Francisco Bay is a mecca for sailors, due to consistent strong winds (Beaufort force 6 is common on summer afternoons) and protection from large open ocean swells.
