Golden — A Baker Beach View of the Golden Gate Bridge

Published on January 18, 2026. Following a lengthy day exploring San Francisco, we circled through the Presidio in search of the ideal vantage point for the Golden Gate Bridge. Baker Beach turned out to be that spot — though Carol left with what she called “the most sand she ever had in her shoes.”

That’s just a great shot Len! I get to SFO 3-4x/year and this spot is on my list, but I haven’t made it yet, but this sure makes me want to get there!! Reply
