    Very easy to get to and one of the best spots to view the Golden Gate Bridge! Access to the visitors center and a coffee shop make it a bit more complete experience compared to the other isolated overlooks.

    It is an easy place to get to by public transportation as it is just a short walk from the visitor center. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge really well and Alcatraz Island, so it seems like a good place to take pictures.

    If you in the area and have time you should check it out. Be sure to read the bridge origin story. Great spot for pics. Fyi- Watch out for ppl breaking into your cars though. Leave nothing inside your car

    Sure to covid-19 restrictions, it was not so busy. We took some good shots of the bridge, in the mist. Parking was limited to two hours, but free because of the lockdown. The public restrooms were still open and looked well managed. The store has limited shoppers.

    Great place to click a pic! Parking is abundant too. Cross below the bridge and head straight you will see another lot to park car. The walk is hardly 3 mins.

    Parking had me nervous as there were multiple parking spots with broken glass from car break in. Only a 0.2 mile walk from parking to the Golden Gate Bridge. Got some nice pics and the views were awesome!

    Beautiful, everything seems to me beautiful

  • 5/5 Aigerim Z. 5 months ago on Google
    beautiful place, the view of the bridge is simply gorgeous

  • 5/5 Cassandra M. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the best places for photos of the Golden Gate Bridge, I highly recommend going in the morning and checking the weather before. Once you come more of a midday time it could potentially be crowded and be harder to get photos in your desired location since everyone is trying to do the same thing.

    Epic spot to get postcard photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. It gets very busy with tourists throughout the day. However, wasn't too happy with the parking situation, meh! Best not to leave any valuables in the car when using the visitors' area parking lot.

  • 5/5 Kristine C. 1 year ago on Google
    Yup, this is one of the best spots to capture this icon. Itโ€™s well-maintained and accessible for those with wheels. I recommend!

    My wife and I absolutely love it. For me, it's a must-do when in San Francisco.

    Best view of the GG Bridge!

  • 5/5 Hung D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here at sunset for a beautiful view of the Golden Gate bridge. Small parking area but a larger one further down. Meter was not working, so we didnโ€™t have to pay.๐Ÿ˜

  • 5/5 sarasaa 1 year ago on Google
    For me I took best shot here. You can walk by Marine drive to get close picture with golden gate on different angle.

  • 5/5 Dimitris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply amazing! I came all the way from Greece to see the Golden Gate Bridge and it was a dream come true (for me at least) The whole area is really well organized, you can find restrooms, a gift shop and a spacious parking. It has also a great unobstructed view to take photos. Donโ€™t know what happens if itโ€™s extremely busy but I really had a great time and took a bunch of photos

  • 5/5 Dena H. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite view of the bridge! Tons of parking and different viewpoints in this area depending on the lot you park at

  • 5/5 Saรบl R. 1 year ago on Google
    I went on a Wednesday, very quiet and it was great to enjoy the view and take a lot of photos.

  • 5/5 Erick C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best locations to fully appreciate the Golden Gate Bridge and surroundings. The site is nearby a bus station and the short hikes are perfect to appreciate Alcatraz and the river crossing. I would go again and this path is also access by bike and is also use as service entrance point.

  • 5/5 TheDaniel 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for photography, especially if you want the Golden Gate as your wallpaper. 5/5 easy access vista point

  • 4/5 Nidhi J. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best spots to click is the Golden gate bridge. The best time of the day to click the pictures from here is afternoon when the sun is towards the west. During sunrise, there is lots of mist; hence its difficult to get good pictures then

  • 5/5 Maria 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful spot to get some great photos of GG on the San Francisco side from various vantage points. Recommend walking along the trails as well. Reading other reviews I used rideshare to get here - itโ€™s a popular place so you wonโ€™t wait long for a ride back either.

  • 5/5 Erica B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to park and walk the paved trails to get a great view of the bridge it was raining for a tiny bit but you can still see the bridge :) Fantastic view!๐ŸŒ‰๐ŸŒ

  • 5/5 Shawn T. 2 years ago on Google
    Phenomenal view along a nice bike path!

  • 5/5 aashish m. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing 360 view of the ocean. One can sit, relax, walk around, or even go hike around on the beach and trails

  • 5/5 Annika Ehrig R. 2 years ago on Google
    Busy area with limited parking but good pics

  • 5/5 Sofie N. 2 years ago on Google

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Sea lions are majestic! They are so lazy and fun to watch. I could spend hours here and still want more time. Itโ€™s so calming and entertaining to be in this area. They sleep, move around, yell and play with each other. Must visit spot if youโ€™re visiting San Francisco.
