Sutro Project / Rodeo Beach

A delightful finish to the Marin Headlands loop, Rodeo Beach is a popular and accessible beach just a short drive from the Golden Gate Bridge (the fast and furious can hike there from the bridge).

Great hiking, mountain biking and birdwatching complement the usual beach pleasures (including surfing).
