Mare Island
Mare Island, a peninsula in Vallejo, California, boasts a rich history as the first United States Naval
installation on the west coast. Located about 23 miles northeast of San Francisco, it offers a unique blend of historical
significance and natural beauty.
The island itself is a living museum, showcasing its past through
historic buildings, the serene Alden Park, and untouched nature preserves. St. Peter's Chapel, the oldest naval chapel in
the United States, stands as a testament to the island's legacy.
For a touch of modern convenience, The Quarters serves as a community hub,
offering coffee, snacks, local products, and a space for social gatherings. And
for a dose of lively entertainment, Decked Out at The Quarters brings together talented Bay Area acts for a one-day music
extravaganza.
