The Farallon Islands, or Farallones are a group of islands and sea stacks in the Gulf of the Farallones, off the coast of San Francisco, California, United States.
The Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge is one of 63 national wildlife refuges that have congressionally designated wilderness status.[5] In 1974, the Farallon Wilderness was established (Public Law 93-550) and includes all islands except the Southeast Island for a total of 141 acres (57 ha).[6] Additionally, waters surrounding the islands are protected as part of the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.
