Review:
Baker Beach is a mile-long public beach at the base of steep serpentine cliffs just west of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Its wide, sandy expanse is great for sunbathing and surf fishing, but not for swimming as the undertow, large waves and rip currents make it dangerous.
Stroll along the fine packed sand and enjoy spectacular views of Land’s End, the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands.
There is a nice picnic area with grills and tables in the shade of the cypress grove, and the Coastal Trail passes by the Cliffside.
The beach gets fairly crowded on weekends, and it is good to note that the north end of the beach is clothing-optional.
