Look at the rocks. They aren’t random. They’re tombstones from a demolished cemetery. Seriously.
In the 1930s, San Francisco moved an entire cemetery (Colma’s Laurel Hill) to make room for, well, real estate. The old headstones were tossed into the Bay as riprap.
Decades later, artists dug them up and used them for the Wave Organ. So you are literally sitting on a dead person’s memorial, listening to the ocean burp.

Second, it’s a perfect date spot. Nothing says romance like sitting on a marble slab while the bay farts a somber melody at you. Trust me, it’s unforgettable.
Third, it’s a guaranteed conversation starter. You can’t say “I went to a wave-powered organ made of recycled graves” without someone saying “WHAT?”
