Travel Guide: The Presidio of San Francisco is a Must-Do

Travel Guide: The Presidio of San Francisco is a Must-Do

You know we love getting outdoors in Marin County, but we also love to make the short hop over the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco —an easy trip from any of our Marin Hotels— for some outdoor time. One of our favorite places to do that is the Presidio of San Francisco.

Top Things To Do In The Presidio of San Francisco

The Presidio is big—bigger than San Francisco’s well-known Golden Gate Park—so let us help you plan your day in the Presidio with a couple of our favorite things to do.

Batteries To Bluffs Trail. This short trail — 1.5 miles round trip — is all about the views of the wild Western edge of San Francisco. For a longer hike connect with the California Coastal trail.

Andy Goldsworthy’s Woodline. In a grove of fragrant eucalyptus trees, this natural art piece invites reflection.

Baker Beach. This beach has the amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge, windswept cypress groves, a stretch of wild Pacific Ocean, and views to the Marin Headlands. Prepare to be WOWED.

For details on one of our very favorite hikes in the Presidio check out our post titled Hike With A View: A Walk Along The Coast of San Francisco. You’ll notice we’ve included a couple of spots to eat and drink in the itinerary, so enjoy those!
