They call it The Land's End
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
Before the bridge was built, the only practical short route between San Francisco and what is now Marin County was by boat across a section of the San Francisco Bay. The Bridge’s official hue is not gold but International Orange. The Bridge is actually named for the Golden Gate Strait, the narrow entrance between the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay. The strait was named by explorer and U.S. Army officer John C. Frémont, who marveled at its beauty in 1846—two years before the discovery of gold in California.
