If you're looking for an excellent spot to take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge then this is it! My biggest complaint will always be dogs on the beach. They have to use the restroom, and it's not their fault they go in the sand and at the waters edge but there are children playing in the sand and at the waters edge. To me the 2 don't mix. Everyone is not a dog lover, the dogs are roaming free walking up wanting to sniff or running at high speeds playing with each other, almost knocking children & adults down who happen to end up in their paths. The expectation that everyone will love your fur baby is false, keep them close to you or leave them home. That's my opinion, in this world people value animals more than other people. There is a significant amount of debris in the sand, drift wood, what looks like coal, and little bits of wood that are sharp. Be careful. The sand also gets extremely hot on the way from the lot to the water. The waves are a lot rougher here than China beach. This isn't a beach I would set up to hang out at more of a stop and go for me but I'm from San Diego and our beaches are completely different than the ones this way. Beautiful scenery, icy cold water, and debris are the current scene of Baker Beach.

Tremendous view of Golden Gate

Great part of the day to visit this beach. Lots of parking.

An insider tip for beautiful and extraordinary photos of the Golden Gate Bridge.

one of the world's most beautiful beaches! The waves aren't quite as big as at Ocean beach so a little bit safer for little dogs!

Relaxed Sunday afternoon coming down beach

Great views. The water and surf can be rough if you dare to go in. Must see stop though.

Beautiful view love to go there

Excellent area to get access for the beach and trails for photography. Be sure to lock your vehicle and put valuables out of sight as your vehicle won't be visible once you start hiking.

I love this beach!!! The atmosphere is great
