Lands End Trail

There’s nothing quite like watching the sun go down over the Pacific Ocean. Lands End Lookout and Sutro Baths are San Francisco must sees: offering up the type of sunset you see in California tourism ads, the kind that convinced me to move here in the first place.  Part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Lands End is a popular coastal hiking destination and home to the historic Sutro Baths. From the parking lot, head straight down to the ocean fed baths to explore what was once a public swimming area. The setting sun reflects spectacularly over the baths and there are plenty of places to sit and settle in until dark.  For a higher vantage point, follow the Lands End Coastal Trail above the baths. Find a bench or a cliff-side perch to watch the sun plummet into the ocean, take note of the many couples glammed up for photoshoots at this popular location, and marvel at yet another perfect sunset in San Francisco.
