Lands End is a park in San Francisco within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Its trails are one of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of Bay Area coastline.

The end of the Land, opening up to the ocean and the vast stretch of water makes it a spectacular.

It is also a great vista point to see the Golden Gate Bridge from a different angle which is also the entrance to the San Francisco Bay.

Lands End is in close proximity to the beaches and Golden Gate Park. We found parking close to the Land’s End trails.

Lands End Loop is about 3.1 miles and half a day can be spent watching the stunning beauty San Francisco offers. This place has a historical significance too.
