This is by far one of the coolest beaches in San Francisco. After hiking down the path, you're greeted with incredible views of not only the ocean, but also of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a perfect combination of natural landscape and urban architecture!

This photo of Marshall's Beach and the Golden Gate Bridge was taken right before you get to the beach, just below the stairs. To get here, you can find parking at either Langdon Court Parking (37.803326, -122.476758) or the neighboring CNG parking lot (37.802608, -122.476118). Next, make your way toward the Battery to Bluffs trail, which is on the southern side of the Langdon Court parking lot. Once you've followed the trail for about 5 minutes, turn right toward a set of stairs marked by a "No pets" sign. Follow the trail down for about 15 minutes (reference the GPS coordinates) and you'll eventually be led to this north-facing viewpoint.
