Presidio of San Francisco
Baker Beach
Baker Beach
Beach goers enjoy Baker Beach.
Mile-long Baker Beach lies at the foot of rugged serpentine cliffs west of the Golden Gate. Large waves, undertow and rip currents make the beach unsafe for swimming, but it provides panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands and Lands End. You can fish or check out the shorelife along the beach and rocky shoreline. Restrooms and picnic tables are nearby.
Officers' Quarters built on Infantry Terrace in 1910
