This place is known for its unique geology, fog-swept coastal prairie ecosystem, and its many chapters of history. The dramatic cliffs of oceanic rock offer sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the foghorn frequently resounds over the misty lagoon and rolling hills of coyote brush and sage.
You can hike, surf, bird-watch, geologize, learn about history, and research. You can also picnic at the Battery Wallace area, near the Point Bonita Trailhead, which has tables and grills (no water on site).
Some must-see attractions include the Point Bonita Lighthouse, the Nike Missile Site, the historic tunnel that sheltered the Coast Artillery Corps during WWII, and the spectacular views from Hawk Hill, Battery Spencer, Hill 88, Kirby Cove, and Slacker Ridge.
You can expect to see beautiful ocean views, rugged coastline, greenery and cliffs, and wildflowers in the spring. The scenery is perfect for taking peaceful moments and great photos.
