Baker Beach is a gorgeous section of the expansive Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which preserves over 82,000 acres of shoreline park and beachfront areas within the San Francisco Bay Area. The beach is located less than two miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, providing photographers with great opportunities for snagging shots of the famed landmark. Portions of the beach are clothing-optional. Beachgoers can also fish in the waters of the bay or explore the historic Battery Chamberlain, which preserves the final six-inch disappearing gun on the American West Coast. Portions of the beach near Lobos Creek allow beachgoers to frolic with their four-legged friends off leash under voice control.
