The beach is truly splendid, despite the occasional presence of branches scattered around. The breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the impressive waves make for an unforgettable experience. However, it's important to be vigilant as there have been incidents of theft in the area. It's advisable to not leave any valuable items in your car when visiting the beach.

We had a relaxed time at the beach on a cool weekday morning. Finding a parking spot was hassle-free, and we were treated to stunning views of the bridge. Definitely worth checking out!

This beach is renowned as the birthplace of the original burning man and offers a breathtaking view. Despite my admiration for this beach, the parking situation is quite limited. However, the real issue lies with the porta potties, which are not well-maintained and emit an unpleasant odor within 10 feet of them. It is imperative that they are cleaned on a daily basis to ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors.

The beach features a stunning scenery with a magnificent golden bridge and majestic mountains in the backdrop. During peak season, parking can be a bit of a challenge due to limited space. However, on this particular day, the weather was partly cloudy, which made it less crowded than usual. We spent our Sunday basking in the tranquil and serene atmosphere, feeling completely at ease.
