Take Lincoln Blvd. to Bowley St. The off-leash area is north of Lobos Creek. There's free parking at the end of Battery Chamberlain Rd. (off Gibson Rd.) and on Gibson Rd. (past the turn-off for Battery Chamberlain Rd.). The lots fill up quickly in the summer.

This is San Francisco's favorite beach, thanks to its wondrous views of Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands and its winding hiking trails. It's loved for its sunbathing too, and parts of this beach are clothing-optional. Baker Beach is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, run by the National Park Service, so it is under the NPS dog policy, which allows off-leash dog walking in the north area of the beach only. No pets are allowed in the south beach area, and leashes are required in the parking lot and picnic area.

Take Filmore St. or Divisadero St. to Marina Blvd. Follow Marina Blvd. past Marina Green. Bear right into the Presidio. You are now on Mason St. Take Mason St. past the warehouses. Go right on Mitchell St. to the western edge of the parking lot. There's free parking near the Warming Hut at the west end of Crissy Field and at the Main Post parking lot.

A stunning spot with great views of the skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands, this is Doggie Nirvana. It's well set up for dogs and people alike, with poop bag dispensers, dog drinking fountains, plenty of trashcans, and even bathrooms. Negotiations are on going with the National Park Service to maintain the off-leash privileges that have been in force here for decades. As of June 2005 NPS allows dogs off-leash everywhere north of New Mason St. Leashes are required in parking lots and picnic areas. Avoid fenced-off wildlife protection areas. The Crissy Field Dog Group advocates for dog guardians who use the area. On the third Saturday of each month they meet at around 10a.m. at the East Beach parking lot picnic tables to clean up. Write crissyfielddog@sbcglobal.net to confirm upcoming clean-up dates.

Most trails in the Presidio are now off-limits to off-leash dogs, but they are permitted here. Be careful of near-by traffic.
