Point Bonita Trail

Trail on Pacific Ocean in Golden Gate NRA near Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, CA

Point Bonita is a short, scenic walk along a dramatic, rocky coast to a promontory with a tiny lighthouse. It’s a popular destination; although not nearly as busy as the nearby Conzelman Road, during the few hours each week when it’s is actually open there’s a continuous stream of people on the trail. The lighthouse itself is a little small and underwhelming, since it has to be short to keep it under the fog; it’s not so much of a destination in and of itself, but an excuse to get out and see some great costal scenery.

The lighthouse is only open on Sundays and Mondays from 12:30 to 3:30 pm, but you really have to get there before 2:30 because the trail is closed to outbound hikers at 3:00. The lighthouse may also be closed if it’s especially windy or rainy. When the lighthouse is closed you can’t walk the best part of the trail or even see the outside of the lighthouse. There’s no charge to visit the lighthouse.
