San Francisco on Film | The Edge of the World

🌊 Lands End—perched at the city’s northwestern tip—is a rugged coastal trail and nature sanctuary within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. With its dramatic cliffs, Pacific vistas, and haunting ruins, it feels like stepping into a windswept postcard. Here’s why it captivates: 🌟 Highlights & Must-Sees 📍 Lands End Trail A 3-mile (4.8 km) cliffside hike with heart-stopping views of: Golden Gate Bridge 🌉 The churning Pacific Ocean 🌊 Distant Farallon Islands (on clear days) Moderately challenging (some steep sections), but doable for most. 📍 Sutro Baths Ruins The skeletal remains of a 19th-century seaside pool complex (built by tycoon Adolph Sutro), now a poetic mashup of crumbling concrete + tidal pools. 📍 Cliff House A shuttered historic restaurant that once hosted celebs like Mark Twain. Still a prime sunset-watching perch. 🎞️ Why Filmmakers Love It: Moody light for cinematic shots Foggy mornings = instant drama The ruins whisper Gatsby-era glamour #SF
