San Francisco: Presidio Beach

Baker Beach, a sandy stretch about a mile in length, is located in the southwest corner of the Presidio near the 25th Avenue Gate. For stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, Marin Headlands, sunsets, birdlife, and the Golden Gate Beach, the site cannot be beat.

Baker Beach features a picnic area, connections to popular trails, proximity to the beautiful coastal bluffs, and monthly demonstrations of an historic artillery gun at Battery Chamberlin. Dress in layers, bring a blanket, and soak it in.
