Cross the Golden Gate Bridge and you will arrive at Marin Headlands, a hilly peninsula that provides the best view of San Francisco. On a clear day, this place offers breathtaking views of the entire bay, including famous landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, Alcatraz and many more. To get the best photos of the Golden Gate Bridge, simply head down to Hawk Hill. The Marin Headlands is also the site for many military instalments, built to repel hostile ships entering the bay. Today, all the military sites have been decommissioned, with some converted into historical sites. Hence, it might even be worth a visit just to see these fortifications! Nevertheless, you should definitely come for the absolutely unparallelled views that this place has to offer.
