Really nice hike, it can get pretty busy just be careful as on the walk down to the beach can be wet/slippery

Fort Funston in San Francisco is a hidden gem for tourists who love nature and dogs! This beachside park on Skyline Boulevard has epic 200-foot cliffs with killer Pacific Ocean views. It’s a dog paradise—pups run off-leash, splashing in the surf or chasing sticks. The sandy trails and steep paths down to the beach are great for a scenic hike, but watch out for strong winds and crumbling cliffs. You might catch hang-gliders soaring above, which is super cool to watch. It’s perfect for families or anyone wanting a chill outdoor vibe, just minutes from the SF Zoo. Bring a jacket—it gets windy! Parking’s easy, and the sunset views are unreal. If you’re into wildlife, keep an eye out for bank swallows nesting in spring. A must-visit for a fun, laid-back day
