Sand Ladder At Baker Beach

The Sand Ladder is a relatively steep hike through sand down to the beautiful beach below. It is gorgeous with views of the Pacific the whole way down. Be aware, however, that you will probably need to hike back up, so plan accordingly as it is made almost entirely of sand lined with wooden pillars and thick wire. Some of the wooden "steps" are loose and easily dislodged as well. So tread carefully. Otherwise, it was a beautiful hike down to the beach with spectacular views of the ocean, Golden Gate Bridge, and surrounding area. Lastly, I would like to warn that it is a nude beach, although unmarked, especially towards the northern end. So be aware of this when planning your hike. Otherwise, it was wonderful and completely worth the hike! (There is limited parking at the top as well.)

This trail is epic bro!

I personally love to do this hike in the evening when the sun is setting in the west and illuminating the Golden Gate Bridge and the entire scene.

fun beach to be naked at and cruise around for some...... ????

It's a great workout! A good mix of trail and stairs. It's not a long trail but you'll still be able to feel the burn.

Have fun!
