Lincoln Park
Leave the city behind (without actually leaving the city) and visit Land's End on this wild stretch of Pacific shoreline.
Map of Western Shoreline
The city's windswept Pacific shore stretches for miles. Here you'll also find Lincoln Park, with breathtaking clifftop views of the beloved Lands End trail and the art-filled Palace of the Legion of Honor; the San Francisco Zoo; and the Cliff House restaurant, where folks have been enjoying the view of the Pacific sunset for more than 100 years. The Great Highway, a 3-mi ocean-side stretch favored by joggers, lines Ocean Beach. This isn't southern California, though; it's rarely warm enough even to sunbathe here. Only diehard surfers make regular use of the beach, though on temperate summer evenings bonfires freckle the sand.
