Just a ferry ride or tunnel trek away, this island on San Francisco Bay offers plenty to do, from urban hikes and splashy fun to a World War II-era museum that might actually be haunted. Here are three ways to play — plus some virtual options, in case you’re not ready to venture out just yet.

Naval history: The USS Hornet Sea, Space & Air Museum, which reopened a few weeks ago, is a gem. The historic air craft carrier plied the Pacific during World War II and served the Apollo space program, too, recovering astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins after splashdown in 1969. As for those ghosts, the museum hopes to resume its three-hour history/mystery tours, which take you to all the paranormal hot spots, later this fall.
