This park is popular with hang-gliders and dog walkers. There's a picnic area and a hang-gliding observation deck, where you can enjoy stunning views. Take the steep unmarked trail to the beach and pristine sand dunes. Hiking, horseback riding and bird watching are also popular here. You'll find a system of multi-use trails for horses and pedestrians.

Beautiful Beaches in SFO
This is one of the most interesting San Francisco beaches. There are dramatic cliffs, a rare dune habitat, and beautiful stones and shells to discover. The beach stretches for 4.6 miles, so you'll have plenty of space to roam. Be aware that during high tides the beach may not be accessible.

As the name implies, Fort Funston was once a military facility, and you'll still find the remains of gun emplacements designed for coastal defense, including Battery Davis in Sunset Trail located on the observation deck.
