The Muir Beach Overlook is perfect for whale watching or catching the sunset. Only a 5 minute drive away, or available on foot too.

Memoirs of a Geisha had a beautiful scene filmed here. You can see the Faralon Islands from here, and it is not very well known. Great for sunset picnics.

Great views and a bit of history with one of the many gun turrets that lined the coast to protect the Bay Area.

Muir Beach Overlook is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. People may visit this cliffside park when driving on State Route 1 (also known as Highway 1) north of San Francisco, California and south of Stinson Beach, California. It has views of Pacific oceanside cliffs and on clear days you can see San Francisco. You can also view migrating blue whales between November and June.

We live just across the street from the Muir Beach Overlook so it's very easy to walk over anytime to enjoy the views, but especially to catch the sunsets over the Pacific.
