Best LGBTQ Beaches in San Francisco

Located near the southern end of the iconic and world-famous Golden Gate Bridge, Mile Rock Beach is a narrow and rocky beach that is situated along the eastern shoreline near the bluff-top Lands End park in the city of San Francisco. The beach is situated in a cove and is a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Mile Rock Beach is littered with logs, so we recommend being careful while walking here.

Located near the Golden Gate Bridge and just minutes away from Downtown San Francisco, Baker Beach is one of San Francisco’s most popular local beaches. Baker Beach’s picturesque setting and central location make it a great escape for urbanites who are fed up with the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. With rugged cliffs, clear water, smooth beige sand, and a backdrop of hillside greenery, Baker Beach feels like it is worlds away. The only reminder you’re still in San Francisco is the beach’s panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The beach’s stunning setting and central location make it incredibly popular, so during peak hours, you might have to wait for a spot in one of Baker’s two large free parking lots.
