"Great place for weddings and photos"

Treasure Island is great for photo-ops and weddings. There is a nice park along the edge of the island that a friend of mine had her wedding photos take at. If you can handle the breeze or at times, strong wind, you will obtain some very candid pictures.

Driving west bound across the Bay Bridge will you give you some time to check out the San Francisco sky-line and if you get off the bridge at TI you will be able to catch some of the best day and night views of the city. Here you will actually have a place to stop and park your car.

There is not a lot of shopping on Treasure Island, but with a little planning, you can zip in and out of the city in all of about an hour's drive. Planning is definately the key though. Do not attempt Treasure Island on the Fourth of July!

No need to go to Treasure Island for the food, the boutiques, or the nightlife - because there really isn't any, but go because you love San Fransisco and the view.

"Perfect Spot for a Photo Shoot"

Part way across the Bay Bridge as you head east to Oakland, you can exit onto Yerba Buena Island. If you continue along the road, after a short bit you'll come to Treasure Island.

This little island is a hidden gem of San Francisco. For one thing, it is spacious and secluded, so it can be a nice little retreat from the urban life without requiring too much travel to get there.

If you're someone who likes to go out and enjoy electronic music, there are some very large hangers over here that have been used for some massive electronic music dance parties thrown by the underground community since Fall of 2008 -- ask around if you're interested.

But my personal favorite is the absolutely amazing view on the San Francisco skyline on the west side of the island. There's a great park along the edge of the island from which you could do a phenomenal photo shoot -- a highly recommended post card picture perfect site to see!
