Lands End Trail is a favorite among both locals and visitors alike! This trail explores the historic Sutro Baths and offers great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean. A must see for any visitor to San Francisco.
**Lands End San Francisco**
The Coastal Trail at Lands End in San Francisco is a gorgeous spot for hiking, but most visitors to the city don't know it's there.
Early History
San Francisco was originally inhabited by the Ohlone Indians. An archeological site at Lands End was dated at 150 A.D., but there is evidence that Indians had been living in San Francisco for around 3,000 years. They had seasonal camps where the Sutro Baths ruins are now, eating seafood and hunting seals; archeologists found their garbage dumps, more politely known as middens.
Hiking the Lands End Trail
The Lands End Coastal Trail is walkway that starts just above the Cliff House, then winds in and out of the woods and along the edge of the bluffs, and ends in a ritzy residential area (Sea Cliff) near China Beach.
🌊**Lands End Trail.**
The way down is quite steep, but there is a stairway to follow. It's a small, rocky beach, good for relaxing and watching the breaking waves, but too rough (and cold) for swimming.
**🇨🇳 China Beach** is a small, secluded cove located in the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco, tucked between Lands End and Baker Beach within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Key Features & Overview
• Views: Offers dramatic, sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands.
• History: Named after the 19th-century Chinese fishermen who used the cove as a Gold Rush-era campsite. A memorial monument honoring these Chinese-American laborers is located near the trailhead.
• Amenities: Features a small free parking lot (around 490 Sea Cliff Ave), picnic tables, barbecue grills, restrooms, and cold-water showers.
Mile Rock Beach
Another branch of the same path will take you down to the mini-beach, Mile Rock Beach, at the foot of Lands End Point.
Mile Rock Beach-Tiny, but cool!
It secluded the beach at the entrance to San Francisco Bay, a scene of many shipwrecks, but a pretty detour off the gorgeous.
