Baker Beach

Weather was great, beach was clean, north parking was closed which was inconvenient, parking kiosk was easy to use, porta potties were clean (for what they are) view of golden gate was perfect

Absolutely breathtaking sunsets with an easily accessible walk to the sandy beach with views to the right of the Golden Gate Bridge. Coming from the north after the bridge, take the first exit and follow signs to the parking area. There are porta-potties in a pinch if needed. Can get crowded but definitely worth the views. I call it a must stop for sunsets in San Francisco. So glad we went!

One of the best experiences from my SF trip! I could spend hours walking here with the sea breeze in my hair, and watch the waves crash over the rocks, and witness some random vessel sail sluggishly under the Golden Gate bridge. Oh well, I might as well become a poet if I stay here too long.

On one side is the Golden Gate Bridge, the other side has views of nature. A lovely beach where you may see a lot of naked people running around so be aware of that. Otherwise a great place to pull back and hike along the trails nearby.

This beach has one of the best photographic views of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. There are a lot of activities going on for this public beach, however, you should still manage to get some pictures in. This area provides a nice background of the Golden gate bridge if you are looking to take selfies or pictures of others. Make your way here before you head out anywhere else. It does take time with traffic to get to this area, but it is worth it.
