This place is so cool Sutro Baths is a really special place to visit, especially around sunset. Even during busy times of the day, there’s ample opportunity for some peace and quiet to take in the incredible views, smell the salty air, and listen to the sounds. Take a walk along the ruins, and explore the cave on the north side. A really special place to spend the afternoon. also i loved the clean air and the only sound you hear is the water and the birds. Washrooms are not too far away. There is a lot of parking too. There is a bit of a walk, specially coming back upstairs!
If you are a tourist, or simply taking your friends around to see the city, this is a cool little place to stop and talk about SF History. Try to get here before sunset. It's so pretty watching the sun descend into the ocean. This place is so fun to explore! The little cave is always drafty and wet, but it's a cave and is to be expected. It's so cool listening to the drips and roar of the water from the inside of it! Climbing on the ruins is one of my favorite things to do. It's a great place to have your imagination run wild. There is parking, but it's always a hit or miss. There are three different ways to get to the baths. The stairs are most common. There are two street entrances that are like descending ramps. I'd be cautious when the ground is wet.

Sutro Baths the only place in San Francisco i could find that gave me an actuall outdoor experience. Beautiful scenery and hiking trails, trees, the whole nine! Definitely one of the best times I had in San Francisco. They have tons of viewing area's, an excellent little cafe and souvenir store. The caves and baths were cool to hike around and gave me some much needed time away from the city conveniently located right in San Francisco!
But still its Great place to explore. Steep trails all around, but you can see most of it from on top if you don't feel like trekking up and down the hill. If you do go down, make sure to check out the cave; it's pretty awesome! Do be aware not to take many of the spider trails around the area, it contributes to the erosion of the land which could eventually make the whole area closed off to the public.
I had no idea what to expect when I dragged us to the Sutro Baths (a location I found on Pinterest). It was gorgeous and so much fun. We spent hours hiking around on the trails (a little steep and lots of stairs, so not easily accessible to those with limited mobility or wheelchairs/strollers), down to the water, around the ruins, and through the tunnel! Such a fun day outside! Gorgeous views at sunset as the light shines off the pool waters. You can walk out into the foundation remains and enjoy the fantastic rocks jutting out of the ocean. Definitely great to walk around after lands end. Great place to bring out of town guests. Plan for low tide with sunsets for stunning photos. Climb the boulder on the beach spot a further out boulder with a heart shape opening in the center.
The views, the history, and walking along the ruins with deep dark waters on narrow walkways and crumbing stones. The dangers are also the magic of this place. Very popular with tourists on the weekends, especially during sunny weather, so plan accordingly. Breathtaking beauty here. Don't miss the gift shop and cafe at Land's End. Highly recommended. and I love this place! It's a great spot to visit when it's too cold or foggy for other outdoor excursions. The fog adds to the ambiance. Parking is easy and it doesn't take long to walk around the whole place. We've seen sea lions and humpback whales off the lookout.
