Baker Beach is the inlet beyond the long New Industries Building on the bottom right

Baker Beach is a small beach and rocky coastal area on the southwestern side of Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, USA. It lies just east of the long two-storey New Industries Building. During the most violent escape attempt from Alcatraz in May 1946, Al Capone's gang "had seized a patrol boat and a group of escapees had landed down at Baker Beach. The radio contradicted these reports, but from the seawall you could see that a marine flotilla had surrounded Alcatraz Island and helicopters."[1]

The beach is to the right of the long two-storey building.
