History:

Glen Cove Marina's "white Victorian house" was originally built as a twenty-eight room residence as part of the Carquinez Straight Lighthouse and Life Saving Station, which was located at the entrance to the deep-water channel leading to Mare Island and the Napa River. First occupied on January 15, 1910, the lighthouse was one of a chain of 17 stations that started at the entrance to the San Francisco Bay (Point Bonita) and ended at Poe Island in Suisun Bay.

In 1955, the US Coast Guard automated the light and fog horn mechanisms, and the main building of the Carquinez Straight Lighthouse was sold to a private party who, in 1957, moved the building by barge up the Straight to its present position at Elliot Cove, overlooking the scenic marina.

Of the 17 original lighthouse buildings, only two others remain in existence: the St. Francis Yacht Club on Tinsley Island, and the East Brother's lighthouse in San Pablo Bay (now a bed and breakfast establishment).

The "Galley Cafe" &"Tide-You-Over Market" is a cozy nook with seating for 14 in the Marina. The owners are focused on good food, as well as setting up a little store to supply the local townspeople as well as boaters.
