Editorial Review for Wave Organ – by Marcie Holmes
In Short
*An eastward stroll along Crissy Field is the perfect approach to this jetty of land past the Golden Gate Yacht Club. At the very end, explorers find the "environmental sculpture" of granite and marble known as the Wave Organ, where subtle tones caused by water hitting the organ's pipes are best heard at high tide. For full listening pleasure, visitors sit in the "sound booth," a stone alcove with a loveseat, while absorbing breathtaking views of the bay, Marin and Alcatraz.
