Baker Beach is the beach you had to go to if you want to see views of the GGB. It's the most iconic POV for the entire city.
I was lucky to visit many times while I lived in San Francisco. It's easy to access from the Presidio.
It's a nice spot to picnic if you're properly prepared.
I believe there is a designated nudist area, or there was when I lived there, and that's cool.
Another great spot that doesn't have the same architectural views, but still beautiful is Ocean Beach.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Apr 10, 2024
This is such a great photo spot for the Golden Gate Bridge. The best place is to park toward the top and walk down to the beach. In the past, there used to be giant rocks right in front and it made for epic photos.
I've been fortunate to take photos during sunrise and sunset. By far, sunset photos were my favorite. You can't beat the different sunset colors with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
This beach can get pretty crowded since it's popular, but the view is always worth it. Definitely recommend!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1 - Apr 1, 2024
Gorgeous area with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Good for photos. One of our favorite beaches in the SF area other than Muir.
There is also path about 1.5 miles long that leads to a walk on the Golden Gate Bridge.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 23, 2024
Very popular spot for both locals and tourists, so keep that in mind when you are planning a trip here. The parking lot situation can get tough, so get here early if possible, or be ready to wait for parking. The beach itself and parking area are well-maintained. Not to mention, you get the BEST views of the Golden Gate Bridge! It's also dog-friendly and they have restrooms available on-site. Took a lot of great pictures and had a relaxing and fun time at the beach. Highly recommend and I would definitely be back!

Baker Beach has an old battery(chamberlain). That means it's a military spot. The view is okay and the weather is not too cold or hot. It's a small hideaway and inlet. The parking lot is helpful. Baker Beach is a San Francisco bucket list spot. It's accessible by bus. It's in the Presidio. It's quiet and you won't see too much or anybody. It's like Ocean Beach..quiet and a little cold..sunny..and existential.

Baker Beach is south of the Golden Gate Bridge and across from the Marin Headlands. There are lots of views of the Golden Gate Bridge from the beach. There is a parking lot and restrooms. Above the parking lot there is more parking on the road.
I arrived with a friend on a Wednesday around noon in late September. At first, it was very calm, and in the 70s. Two hours later, it was 80 degrees. When we left at 2:30, the wind had picked up.
There is a large sandy beach for walking, combing, fishing, and playing with your dog. If you walk towards the Golden Gate Bridge, before you get to the rocks, you may notice that people are in their birthday suits.
Way back in 1986, the first Burning Man happened on Baker Beach with the burning of an 8-foot effigy.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 1 - Oct 6, 2023
I was really not a fan of Baker Beach.
After walking over from the Disney Family Museum and under the Golden Gate Bridge the trail unfortunately ends at Baker Beach.
Most of it is not paved and the sand is thick thick underfoot. It's literally like sinking in and wading through it to get to the other side. The steps and paved areas appear not well taken care of and the whole beach feels on the unsafe side.
I had planned to continue on to Land's End, but the sand messed up my knee so bad I ended up deciding to Uber home. However Baker Beach had other plans because it has no cell reception.
I ended up walking another two blocks to get a single bar to call for the cab. Yeah, naw Baker Beach, I'm good.Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 0
