Kirby Cove

Just as you drive across the Golden Gate Bridge heading towards Sausalito, there is a little known, well secluded beach located just a little to the west of the world's most beautiful bridge. The hidden gem is known as Kirby Cove. Just a short hike down a scenic trail, lies an alluring beach, surrounded by lush tree's and flora. Kirby Cove has a breath taking view of the entire span of the Golden Gate, and much of San Francisco's scenic northern water-front. Cruise ships and sail boats can be seen leaving the bay into the Pacific. Kirby Cove is serene and peaceful. Surely, bringing your loved one here will make a special memory in the hearts of both of you that will never be forgotten.

To reach secluded Kirby Cove, at the foot of the Marin Headlands, you need a code to unlock a metal gate, which offers access to a road winding down to the shore. Forget about camping here on a whim—people book sites sometimes a year in advance for holidays, the summer, and popular weekends. Day use is equally fun here, particularly on a sunny day: Watching the Blue Angels zoom across the sky from this locale, for instance—while lying in a hammock and grasping a cold beer—is in-cred-i-ble. The view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay is top-notch, and the cove itself boasts smooth sand and an old fort that's a bit creepy, but worthy of exploration and photography. If you book a BBQ site overlooking the cliff for a day, or score one of the tent sites overnight, you've landed prime Golden Gate Park territory.
