Marina neighbors know and tourist’s books show that there is an island on the Lagoon at the Palace of Fine Arts. 
Yet, it is worth knowing what the coveted 2000 block of Jefferson has been touting for decades…and that is, there is another island in the Marina District of San Francisco.
Over the years, these neighbors have shared and accumulated documentation showing that they are living on top of an ”ancient island” that was mapped as early as 1789, just off of ”Wash Woman Cove”.
These neighbors know the “ancient island” as “Strawberry Island” surrounded by an estuary to the West and South West and the Bay to the North and North East extending over portions of 10 blocks in the Marina.
The National Geologic Map Data Base for the Marina also shows “Strawberry Island” as “Qb” made up of coarse gravel and large cobble stones.
This little bit of Marina trival is worth knowing, if you live on “Strawberry Island”.
