How to get there

Getting to Marshall’s Beach will require a hike down a steep set of stairs (and don't forget the hike back up), however, the view is entirely worth it! Using the GPS coordinates, your Maps app will lead you onto Lincoln Blvd where you can park in the Langdon Ct Parking Lot. From the lot, follow the Batteries to Bluffs Trail toward Marshall's Beach. It will take approximately 20 minutes to get down the trail and onto the beach. Once on the beach, hike along the shore towards the Golden Gate Bridge and you'll arrive at the rocky shoreline featured in the shot.
