Lovely beach views of the Golden Gate and easy hike! Visited Saturday 3/5/22 at 7:30AM. Parked near "Ridge Battery" lot (not close to full. There's designated parking also along the roadside). 5 min walk to Golden Gate vista points and upper battery's. Hike itself took about 25-45 mins there/back. Can investigate Battery Wagner along the way. Easy, but non-shaded, packed dirt road trail until the bottom. Near the "day use areas" there were three restrooms but the only one open was closest to the beach. BEWARE POISON OAK as it's everywhere and stay on trails. Max of 5 people at any given time while we were on the beach. Beautiful looming trees and greenery near the beach including a patch of Calla Lilies. Golden Gate was glorious for pics. Ships and kayaks passed underneath with San Fran towers in the backdrop. Headed back to the car around 10:40AM and tons of people were flooding down.

What a wonderful place and small little gem so close to the city. I walked across the GG bridge and over onto the hill walking trail towards the campsite. After crossing the bridge it was a 35 minute pleasant walk with plenty opportunity to take pictures of the bridge. The beach has a really private flair to it and the views are amazing. If you look closely, you ll see seals too :) Close by you have picnic tables with a view into the small forest or over the sea. There is a smell of eucalyptus in the air at all times :) Highly recommend it.

The best spot for a ‘Golden Gate Bridge’ picture. Especially at sunrise, since the bridge is East of Kirby beach, so towards the sun. Make sure to arrive at the view point near Battery Spencer about an hour before sunrise. Walk down the Kirby Cove Road, as a pedestrian you are allowed to pass the gate. After a walk of about half an hour you will arrive at the beach. Prepare for the most amazing part of your journey. Sunrise behind the bridge 😱

Definitely a great little hike to the beach. The trail down to the beach is really maintained and wide. Sometimes there will be cars that will go down the trail, just be cautious of that. There is a lot of shade and trees all around the trail down to the beach. Which is really nice when it is a hot day. There is a restroom by the day use campground as well which is very clean.

Best place to view the Golden Gate Bridge very early in the morning. It's a very nice short hike down to the beach, and before sunrise there are literally no people at the beach. Beautiful spot for photos, or to just hang out and watch the sun come up.

A beautiful beach with an amazing view of the GG. It’s not crowded too. The water was freezing tho (and it was around 95°F on the day we were there). The hike from Fort point took us about 2 hours, but it was absolutely worth the way.
