United States California San Francisco
Baker Beach
A picturesque sandy stretch known for view of a famed bridge, picnic spots, and occasionally strong currents not ideal for swimming.
Tips from the community
If you prefer your San Francisco sunsets with up-close views of the Golden Gate Bridge, then this is the spot for you. Located on the western shoreline of the Presidio, the mile-long Baker Beach offers several vantage points to enjoy the sunset. Set up a picnic on the sand, sit atop the old military battery, or climb the boulders until you get the view you’re after. Enjoy the sun dipping behind the skyline, framed by the Golden Gate and Marin Headlands. Keep in mind that the north end of Baker Beach is clothing optional.

Hit the sandy shores of Baker Beach and enjoy stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. This beach has one of the best views in the whole Bay Area, but can get very windy so bring warm clothes (this isn't So Cal!). Build sandcastles, take a leisurely stroll, or simply relax by the water.
