Where We Meet

Look for me at

This tour meets at the Crissy Field East Beach at the picnic tables by the changing rooms in the parking lot, not the picnic tables east of the parking lot. I arrive 15 minutes early — please join me!

Directions to meeting point →

Transit: MUNI 30 to Broderick St & Jefferson St. Or take the free Presidio GO shuttle — exit at the Presidio Community YMCA and walk down the hill, or continue to the Presidio Visitor Center for a bite to eat and a great view before walking to meet us.

Parking: Large free lot at the meeting point. If full, try the lot between the St. Francis and Golden Gate Yacht Clubs. There is also a paid lot nearby. One Bay Wheels bike docking station is close by.

The tour ends at: Picnic tables closer to the marina

Food & Shopping

Best option: picnic at the beach!

Dynamo Donuts and Coffee · Map →

110 Yacht Road

Coffee kiosk a short walk from the start and very close to the end.

Il Parco · Map →

214 Lincoln Blvd

Short walk up the hill in the Presidio Tunnel Tops park. Informal, tasty. There are often a number of food trucks nearby too. If you are taking transit you'll be right by the free Presidio GO shuttle, which has many fewer stops than MUNI alternatives.
