Golden Gate Overlook is a breathtaking and must-see view of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Visitors can admire both towers finely framed between two beautiful Cypress trees, or look down the hill to see native plants and winding footpaths.

This overlook is conveniently accessible by both the Presidio GO Shuttle and public transit on the Muni Route 28. Additionally, there are two parking spaces for those with mobility limitations at nearby Langdon Court Parking Lot. Nature lovers can also explore the three multi-use park trails that converge here - the California Coastal Trail, Bay Area Ridge Trail, and Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. Those wanting to learn more about the park's history can go on a walk downhill to the Batteries to Bluffs Trail and visit various battery sites. To have a complete experience, visitors must take the short walk to the nearby Pacific Overlook to see the bridge from a different angle!
