San Francisco Off The Beaten Path
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Beaches / Pacific Coast: Baker Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Most visitors to San Francisco dismiss the idea of going to the beach here because they have heard "it's not Southern California", or "it's too cold". Actually I had four days of OK beach weather in February. As long as you find a beach with cliffs to block the wind, if the sun is out it will be fine. Swimming, now that's another story. This is the northern part of Baker Beach, one of the areas many nude beaches. As I build these pages I'll add some of the other clothing-optional locales. Nudity is perfectly accepted here. The National Park Service maintains the property and asks only that naturists stay north of the sign warning of hazardous surf. The views of the Marin headlands and passing ships are breathtaking. The beach can be reached by bus 30 from behind Fisherman's Wharf, transfer to bus 28 which takes you to the Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint. Then you walk underneath Highway 101 and follow the trail through the Presidio down the hill and take the steep sand stairs DOWN. It's a steep descent. An alternative approach is to take bus 1 from downtown and go west on Sacramento Street and California Street until you get to 25th Ave. Get off there and walk north on Lincoln Blvd. and follow the sign for the beach. There are restrooms and picnic tables, but no food vendors.

  • For nude sunbathing stay NORTH of this sign, in the area you see, and enjoy the million dollar view of the bridge and harbor!
