Marshall's Beach in San Francisco is a hidden gem, tucked away on the rugged coastal bluffs just north of Baker Beach. With no amenities at the beach, visitors need to bring everything they need for their day and be prepared for a slight hike down the Batteries to Bluffs Trail which can be a somewhat challenging trek down and back. Aside from its secluded atmosphere, what makes Marshall's Beach unique are the stunning views of both the Golden Gate Bridge and Pacific Ocean, making it a must-see destination for photographers. Despite all its breathtaking beauty, it is also popular among nude sunbathers looking for some peace and quiet. So if you're looking for an unforgettable day with spectacular views, head on over to Marshall's Beach!

Leave your car in the free Langdon Court parking lot just off Lincoln Boulevard near the Golden Gate Overlook. You can also park in the Baker Beach north parking lot.
