Spanning the Golden Gate Strait—the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean—the world famous Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco to Marin County to the north. The bridge first opened to traffic in 1937, and for nearly 30 years, its 4,200-foot-long suspension span was the longest in the world.
