Alameda is a city in the U.S. state of California. It is next to Oakland and the San Francisco Bay.
Most of Alameda is on an island (called Alameda Island). The other large part is a peninsula connected to the Oakland International Airport. This peninsula is called Bay Farm Island because it used to be an island. The third part of Alameda is Coast Guard Island, which is a military base for the U.S. Coast Guard.
