One of the most beautiful and popular beaches ever in San Francisco, owing to its numerous features on television, Baker Beach lies on the shores of the Pacific Ocean just south of Golden Gate Point, where the iconic Golden Gate Bridge meets with the peninsula. Not the safest for swimming due to rip currents and water temperature, this beach is perfect for lounging around and spending time with family and friends! Especially stunning at dawn and dusk, make sure to capture the rays of sun washing the beach in gold as it goes down. Pack a picnic while waiting for that perfect photo opportunity and enjoy it while sunbathing, or playing in the sand!
