Spectacular views abound in San Francisco. Ocean, bridges, islands, shipwrecks, sea lions, parks, forests, everywhere you look there is breathtaking beauty. But, nothing beats the view from the Lands End Lookout.

This popular park at the mouth of the Golden Gate Bridge is where the American continent ends at the wild and rocky northwestern shore, covered in cypress and wildflowers and edged with the Coastal Trail.

This spot is front row for the most spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the ocean beyond. Follow the trail to the ruins of Sutro Baths, enjoy the nearby gardens, and stop at the Lands End Lookout for another stunning view of the bridge, sea lions and passing whales. At low tide, witness the ruins of the many shipwrecks that took place on these rough shores.
