If you want that perfect, iconic postcard shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, skip the crowded standard overlooks and come straight to Baker Beach. The contrast of the crashing waves, the dark sand, and the massive orange bridge framed by the Marin Headlands is completely unmatched. We went right around golden hour, and watching the sunset light up the bridge cables was unforgettable. It does get windy and chilly, so bring layers, and be aware that parking can fill up fast on nice days. An absolute must-visit when you're in San Francisco!
