What to expect

Baker Beach is a mile-long sandy beach located in the southwest corner of the Presidio, offering stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Marin Headlands. The beach has a picnic area with tables, grills, and restrooms, making it a great spot for families to spend the day. The north end of the beach is a popular spot for nude sunbathing, while the south end is more family-friendly. The beach is also a great place for hiking, with access to the California Coastal Trail and the Batteries to Bluffs Trail. Visitors can enjoy beautiful sunsets, and the beach is dog-friendly, but be aware of powerful riptides and cold water. The beach also features a 'disappearing gun' at Battery Chamberlin, and visitors can learn about the area's history and geology, including the unique serpentine rock formations
