The Marin Headlands is superior spot for
pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is part of the Golden Gate
National
Recreation Area. You can also stretch your legs on the Bay Trail. Take
the Sausalito exit heading North on Highway 101. You can access the
Marin
Headlands by turning west and crossing under the freeway. The first
turnout
has a path leading to an old bunker from World War II. The bunker
places
you directly above the roadway. This is the traditional wide-angle
postcard
view of the Bridge. The Bay Trail leads down to Kirby Cove and the
Golden
Gate Strait. Kirby Cove has a camping area and sandy beach. The beach
offers
a unique perspective. You can see San Francisco from under the
Bridge.
There are a few more turnouts as you head West on the Marin Headlands. The Bridge towers rise up and greet the San Francisco Skyline from the Headlands. San Francisco becomes centered between the two towers at top of the hill. The road goes to Battery Point Lighthouse and the Pacific Coast. Near the ocean there are views of the Bridge in the distance looking back through an unspoiled landscape. The road wraps back around to Sausalito where there is food and shopping a plenty. |
