By far my favorite trail in the entire SF Bay Area. This trail is beautiful no matter the time of day, dusk, or year. Parking is easy to find even on the busy weekends, the trail is easily accessible, and doesnt require much effort. There are multiple view points and stops along the trail with amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Golden Gate, and the Pacific Ocean. You can take the trail the full 2 miles to Sutro Baths or head to the labyrinth, take in the stunning views and turn around. I have done this trail at least 2 dozen times and its never lost its wow factor.
Tricky to find... go down first flight of steps and instead of taking the second set of steps to your left, go straight (be careful, narrow path) you wouldn’t regret the amazing view!!! Guarantee some beautiful clicks!!!
Beautiful and easy to get to!Theres a short path, small hill, and a bunch of steps, but its well worth it.Enjoy!
Absolutely breathtaking views to labyrinth. It was tricky getting there since there has been so much rain recently, but we did just fine. No one was there for the long time it took us to walk the labyrinth. Its by far one of the best Ive walked, as Ive done probably 15 or so. Very powerful, well maintained. A very special treat for the Veterans visiting the hospital and anyone else wanting to experience. Thank you to all who created and maintain such a gem.
Tucked away just southwest of Golden Gate Bridge is a gem called Lands End Labrynth. In all the time Ive lived in northern Cali I never stumbled across this place until now. I stumbled across it while looking for beaches to go to and found one of the most beautiful spots Ive seen in the San Fransisco area.There is a short hike down to the lookout/beach of which it has both. The beach is a epic little sand beach with very little traffic and some of the most beautiful landscapes you get to see from Cali. Right next to that is Lands End and a constructed stone labyrinth. The view from this low cliff looking back at the Golden Gate is surreal. Pictures looked like the backgrounds were paintings.Worth every second of the visit and short hike. If you are near Golden Gate, take some time and intentionally make this stop. You will not regret it.
Getting there was quite the journey! But beautiful views made it very enjoyable. The labyrinth is really well made and takes some minutes to complete without cheating! Amazing experience
Great spot for going on a hike. You can see Baker beach and the golden gate bridge
Hidden gem in SF. Enter from the east side by Seacliff Eagle Point is more natural vs man-made. Definitely go down to Seal Rock Beach via the Labyrinth path. Your own private beach
What a cool spot to hike out to. This is a great spot to take photographs as well. With the bridge in the background or the maze. Depending on Karl( its what San Francisco calls the fog) it can make for some pretty interesting views of the bridge. This is a must visit spot for photographers if you have the time.
Heads up: It is not a maze, there is just one direction. Cool view
It is smaller than it looks in the pictures but still a good spot to go to for views.
Beautiful scenery. My friends and I took a little less than an hour for the round trip from the parking lot near Sutro Baths (we took a lot of photos LOL). Be careful when walking towards the rock formation from the overlook (photo with us in the Asian squat position) because on a windy day, it was scary with the small unstable rocks.
Gorgeous views of the bay. Plenty of hiking trails, dog friendly. Parking will be difficult on weekends.
A good hike with spectacular views but could use more signage directing specifically towards this site. Best views of it are from above but that’s a slippery and steep journey.Many steps so good shoes and water you’ll want to have.
20 mins walk. It may be a tough walk for some on hot days. Very beautiful scenic. You can see golden gate bridge from there as well!
This has been my favorite place to go hiking. I would start from the surrounding baths and go all the way up to lands end. There are little trails going to different areas with a different view which have all been amazing. I have gone during all times of the day and even afternoon and this place is just amazing and a great trail to go hike. You can go off trail as I said and wonder around just remember where you came from. You could walk around the neighborhood once off the trail and find your way to China Beach. Like I said its just a great place to go hike and plenty of different ways you can go. You could even end up all the way at the Golden Gate bridge. If youre a beginner you can do this just take your time and take breaks if you need to but for sure give this trail a shot because the view is just gorgeous.
It is the second time I am coming here. It is phenomenal, spectacular....one of the most beautiful view of pacific ocean with San Francisco s mountains.
Cool spot. It’s a little tricky for me finding this place. I was surprised I found this spot. Labyrinth is near the edge of the cliff, so you can see the Golden gate Bridge on the other side.
Pretty short hike about 2 miles roundtrip gets you to local spots to see the beautiful scenery of the Golden Gate Bridge and the man made labyrinth that’s a local/tourist favorite! Walk to the center without touching the sides and you will have good luck! :P
Lands End is a beautiful and scenic walk along the SF coast. There are many fantastic views to just enjoy or photograph. While not a terribly Long trail, I would appreciate it if they would add a few seating areas along the way. I would definitely recommend a visit.
A beautiful hike to amazing views - I highly recommend. However, do dress in layers because spots can get very windy and chilly, even when the sun is out - I was glad that in addition to my jacket I had my beanie and gloves. The trail started out wide but narrowed out as we descended down towards the labyrinth. I think there was also an easier, wide path to the labyrinth but always be cautious and aware if the path is right for you.
SsOo beautiful... And The Surrounding Area..... This place is A perfect place for a person or family and couples and groups of people that want to have experience of The Power Of Nature and The Pacific-Ocean....
We traveled to San Fran from Boston and took a very scenic hike on our way to visit the Golden Gate Bridge, which is at the end of the Lands End Trail.The labyrinth was mid way between our parking spot and the Golden Gate Bridge. One of the more enjoyable experiences during our trip to SF! Family friendly but definitely keep your kids away from the cliffs..
It is a nice little hike and once you get there, ithas such a pretty view of the Golden Gate. It truly is breathtaking!
A nice walk. Beginner level Fitness required only. Come on a clear day for excellent views of the coastline and to be able to see the Golden Gate Bridge! Also dog-friendly, can a great place for exercising.
Very surprising place. Someone made a rock labyrinth on the cliff! The view over there is stunning, especially if youre looking for a view of the Golden Gate from another angle.
Lands end labrynth is a great view point for golden gate bridge, sunset from this point with the bridge views looks amazing
Wonderful views and a decent hike.
The Labyrith is very beautiful. It can get windy here so please carry layers. There some sort of peace and serenity here.
Great hike and very good place to watch the sunset. I would reccomend this hike to anyone that likes to explore secluded areas and escape the craziness of the city.
A must see in California. Beautiful beach to see the sunset and the Golden Gate Bridge!
A scenic spot thats a bit out of the way. Ive lived in the Bay Area most of my life and hadnt visited it before. Im glad I did though, because its very nice. The view of the bridge and ocean are more reminiscent of a place on the North Coast than they are San Francisco.The labyrinth itself is made up of stones, with a spot in the very center where people have left trinkets, souvenirs, and whatever small items theyve wanted. There is one section of the labyrinth that goes right by the cliffs edge, so be careful if you walk it.
Great spot for pictures. Super windy in here wear your jacket.
Nice trails for hiking with beautiful view of the ocean and the Golden gate bridge.
You can get to here from Lands End Trail. You need climb down the steep steps from the trail. Once you reach here you will find the maze created using stones. You can enjoy spectacular view of Pacific ocean and Golden Gate bridge from here. Place can get windy and chilly, so dress in layers.
This is a must go place if you are visiting San Francisco. This place is quite an amalgamation of landforms like forest, rocky hill and a sandy beach...it has it all. We entered the place via entrance near the SF war memorial which comprised of a small trail with beautiful stairways up and down in the forest leading upto the scenic spot. The place took me by surprise with its freshness and beauty.
The variety of plants, scenic views and walking trails makes this place a gem.
Great place to watch the sunset with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, ocean and the greenery.If youre into photography or a nature love, this place is meant for you!
Amazing place to see the Golden Gate Bridge from a different angle and have a casual trail to walk. Beautiful coastline as well where you can walk along the beach and enjoy the view.
Great hike with views... easy/ moderate
Pretty cool spot to view the GGB.
Very unique place, with incredible magnetic field. Highly recommend to visit!
Its a beautiful hike there and back with lots of good photo stops, be ready for some stairs!
This view, man!! It’s super cool and unique add to the nature scene. Good little hike to get there, but it’s worth it!
Great hike out to this windswept viewspot on the Golden Gate. Hang on to your hat, it will blow away.
Beautiful overlook over the ocean and back toward the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. A short hike down the hill but uneven terrain so be cautious if you have mobility issues.
The walk is a little bit far, windy and steep at times but its worth taking for the great views of the ocean & the Golden Gate bridge. I went during the weekday & there were plenty of other people out on the trail.
Expect more stucture. But, the place has a great vantage of the bay n its iconic bridge (sans fog).
Always fun to get out to lands end. The labyrinth is a great spot for pictures and views of the Golden gate bridge! If youre lucky enough to go on a clear day, its one of the best spots in the entire city!
If you like hiking, this is a must go place when you visit San Francisco! The view is awesome! You can have a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge right on the mountain. It is only a little bit of moderate walk, but for the scenery it is worth it!
Nice place near the cliff. If you have time to spend, you can walk over the labyrinth. The view is outstanding. The path to arrive there is not too easy take your precautions. Wear confortable shoes.
Awesome excursion with my boyfriend! Loved it. Those stairs to get down to the beach next to it tho...... a doozy
Cool area for some pictures or watching the sunset
Serene. small hike down to the beach
Wonderful views, and fun to follow the labyrinth. I would suggest walking shoes and clothing layers.
Soo peaceful. It gets windy and cold here, bring a jacket and also the hike down hill you need to be careful because of loose rocks. There is also an alternative short cut or path you can take to avoid the loose rock path. Is on the beach path with lots of sand.
Cool spot. Walking around the labyrinth is fun for young kids. Mind there is a small hike down and back up to get here. Views of the Golden Gate from here are amazing. You can see the whole bridge from out the bay. It can get a bit colder and windy here. Also a bit crowded during weekends
Great hike walk and great place to meditate. I love to come back here.
Nice place, beautiful scene...suitable for a short family hike with kids.
Nice relaxing spot, great little hike - gets chilly and windy out there, though!
Short hike. Tbh, Im not sure that I was even at the labyrinth. The tide was in so maybe it was under water? My dog loved it. There was some evidence of a party or campouts. Beer bottles on the beach and a recently burnt out fire.
Nice little hike from the Sutro Bath parking lot, theres a little step section going down but its not too steep, nor long.
Beautiful trails with views of the Golden Gate bridge.
Beautiful hidden spot in San Francisco. A short 12-15 min hike to get here depending on where you park. There are a lot of stairs to get here. The view is definitely worth it!
Very beautiful place to hike! Throughout the hike, you get a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Trecking down and coming back up is a bit of a challenge. Have somebody who knows the path to the location to guide you specially if youre new to the place.
Short hike to a Labyrinth made out of rocks and you can see the golden gate bridge on a nice day
Neat to see a piece of art on this coastal walk but wouldn’t go just for it. Enjoy the surroundings as part of a longer walk and treat this as something along the way. Smaller in person. Go early if you want it to yourself!
Probably the best place to get the view of golden gate bridge.
Beautiful and peaceful... worth the hike
Most spectacular view in SF. Little hidden beach areas and super easy hike for visitors
Nice simple short walk from the trail head of Land’s End. Serene area with a great view towards north bay and Marin. This trail is a bit more touristy than I would like. But the short walk makes this cliff a nice addition to the Land’s End trail walk.
The labyrinth by itself is nothing special but the location is breathtaking! The whole Lands End is absolutely beautiful. I was visiting in August while its foggy and windy season and it was so atmospheric and beautiful. It was one of the most enjoyable places in SF for me.
Beautiful view of Golden Gate and cliffs below. Wonderful sunset!
Good spot for views if the weather would cooperate.
A must see in SF. You wont see this most must see lists coz its off-road and you cant drive up here. You need to hike the lands end trail to end up here.. its a short hike down with lots of steps to climb up on the way back though.. Still very manageable for even a beginner hiker. The views are so worth it... Labyrinth is on an amazing bluff... A pretty beach nearby with fire pits...
The Pacific Ocean is beautiful
Nice place to walk, great view.
Easy to hike up with great views of ocean and Golden Gate Bridge, quite windy and chilly once you get there. You can go down to the beach as well.
It is a short walk to lands end labyrinth. You have to look for it where it is because there is no sign. The view is amazing, you can see the golden gate bridge
Good for short trail with amazing views
Great stop for a good view
Best happy hour in town. We got some exercise instead of drinking and we saw a pod of whales. Its rocky and windy but well worth it. Take your time and bring layers in July.
Easy walk up to the spot where you can get really cool view!!
Hike gets busy during the weekends but is so scenic and picturesque
The rock formation is usually intact and fun to walk in. This part of the walk is very dangerous as there is no guard rails on the cliff. Please be careful out there.
Great place to escape the city
A labyrinth with Zen atmosphere and amazing views.....
Great place for photographing.
Nice place to view the pacific and the Golden bridge.
Neat spot if you want to a cool hike within the city.
Beautiful view and short hike. Lots of stairs!
