Baker Beach is a state and national public beach on the Pacific Ocean coast, on the San Francisco peninsula. It is roughly 1/2 mile long, beginning just south of Golden Gate Point , (where the Golden Gate Bridge connects to the San Francisco Peninsula), extending southward toward the Seacliff peninsula and the Palace of the Legion of Honor and the Sutro Baths.

While on the peninsula, it is not a part of San Francisco county, rather it is under the control of the Golden Gate National Recreation Authority (GGNRA), which was until 1997, part of the Presidio military base.
