Review:
Marshall's Beach is one of San Francisco's hidden shoreline gems, accessible via the Batteries to Bluffs Trail in the Presidio north of Baker Beach. The extremely photogenic beach is one of the city's best spots to view the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, and the Pacific Ocean, giving the illusion of remote wilderness despite its location minutes from the city's downtown area. Though the small beach extends for less than 1,000 feet, its secluded location make it a prime spot for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city for a waterfront day trip. Great opportunities for birdwatching are offered, along with occasional chances to view whales from the shoreline. The beach is also clothing-optional due to its isolated location, offering opportunities for natural sunbathing.
