Lands End

Lands End is one of my favorite trails in the Bay Area. Every time we visit, I always want to take a walk here! The trail is only about 1.5 miles so it isn't too bad at all and it's got some stunning views!

It can get a bit chilly if it is windy. The trail is dog friendly as well! On our most recent trip, we took our doggo to walk here and he loved it!

There are some areas that have a lot of stairs, like the beach. You don't have to go down there but you can! If you do, just prepared for the stair master in real life!


Definitely recommend if you've never been. They have a parking lot too but it gets busy so you may or may not be able to find a parking spot.

Within a short walking distance from the lower or upper parking lot (I suggest you try parking at the upper one) there are jaw dropping views of the San Francisco Bridge, the Sutro Baths, and the heart shaped rock nearby.

A nice and easy hike with clear paths are fantastic to walk.

Lands End has been a family favorite for years! Every time we have friends/family visiting this is the one place in SF we HAVE to take them! It's such a great place to be in the city, without feeling like you're actually in the city.

The views of the Golden Gate, and if you're here on a clear day - the Farallon islands, are spectacular. With all the trees, plants, and different rock formations (both natural and manmade) there's beauty just about everywhere you look - not to mention the surrounding ocean of course.

Lands End has multiple different areas to explore and routes to take, so you can come here many times before seeing it all. The Sutro baths are a must see, and if you can maneuver lots of steps or a steep hill they are worth the trek down. Don't forget to check out the cave while you're down there too!

Though it's no longer there, the area that was always known to have labyrinth is a great spot to get a view of the golden gate and watch boats cruise into the bay. There are a couple ways to access this area, both do involve quite a few steps, with the beach side having more of an incline.

Parking and visiting is free, though be aware that parking can fill up quickly on a nice weekend. The parking lot also has well kept bathrooms and a gift shop.

Incredible views of the landscape and golden gate bridge in the distance, remarkable and lovely Sutro Baths ruins, decent trail lined with endless trees and greenery and no exhausting inclines, a visitor center that displays and sells items related to the nature and history of this place (Lands End Lookout and restrooms open 9-5pm daily), historical shipwreck remains and USS SF memorial on site, and Ocean Beach just steps away. This is far more than just a park, it's a breathtaking and delightful destination for individuals, couples, and families. Clean and well kept for the most part. Lots of free parking, too.

Gorgeous viewpoints, beautiful trails. One of my go-to spots to take visitors. There are plenty of reviews praising the park itself so I'll focus on the gift shop. There are so many wonderful items here from books to art prints. The staff is friendly and helpful. It's a great place to pick up souvenirs!

A hike from the Lands End Lookout, down to Sutro Baths, up & down to Mile Rock Beach, & past the Lands End golf course out towards Presidio area & back took about 2-2.5hrs. Dog friendly hike with a good amount of stairs! The view of the GGB is spectacular on Mile Rock Beach.

Born and Breed this has always been my sanctuary.

The fresh sea air, the views, the light.

There are few places that capture that "je ne sais quoi" feeling.....this is one of them.

Every time I come back I grab a burrito or sandwich and head here ....you should too.

It will mesmerize you as well

This is a very assessable location with a visitor center, and lots of parking. FYI do not leave luggage or valuables in your car.

Being perched over the Sutro Bath Ruins, and given that there are both trails to the Ruins below, and to The Legion of Honor located in Lincoln Park this is a great starting point if you want to explore.

From this location you can often sight numerous ships entering , and leaving the San Francisco Bay, and spy wondrous Sunsets .

If you opt to explore via the Trails then please wear sensible shoes that can get a little dirty, and have on hand a light jacket due to the persistent marine layer fog. If you are in need of beverages, light snacks, or sun screen there is also a Walgreens a few blocks East at 25 Point Lobos Ave.

If you opt to hike toward the Legion of Honor you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and Strait. It's worth the Hike.

When exploring SF,I had no idea what I was doing. There was so much to see, so much to do that I had no idea where to start. Luckily I found this on my Google maps and it was a great trail. Walking through untouched land of growing flowers, plants and trees was something unlike I'd ever seen before. Make sure you dress accordingly with walking shoes and clothes to stay cool, I made the mistake of underestimating how much I would walk considering I was wearing sandals and jeans. There are inclines and stairs but there are rest areas to take breaks.We walked from the Golden Gate Park, Windmills and tulips and sutro baths and made it a trail so we could see everything without have to drive and find parking and I recommend doing the same!

I have ordered several items from LE, robes, jeans, and a dress. Even though some items did not fit me (too large) I am very impressed that LE has maintained quality in the fabric used. The sizes are touch and go because I think Petite means a different size structure outside of the USA. Shipping labels are no longer included and there is a $6.95 return fee, still the return process is easy because you have over 7,000 places to visit. I also want to thank Nina, CSR, for taking care of my operator error issue professionally and quickly. The items that did fit will last me a long time
