Take the Marin Headlands loop for ocean views and old military batteries, then walk the tunnel and suspension bridge out to Point Bonita Lighthouse. The lighthouse is only open on set days, but the walk and the view are worth it anyway.

Good to know

  • Lighthouse access is limited to certain days, check the NPS page
  • The trail is about a 1 mile round trip from the car park
  • Bring layers for wind
