- Incredible walks, hikes and views!!! Closest entrances are on El Camino and 25th Avenue or Lake and 15th Avenue. However - I usually drive and park. In addition to the walks there are also loads of activities in and around here - such as: The Disneyland Museum, Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center and Gift Shop, beaches, Presidio golf course, a hidden bowling Alley (last two usually need a reservation) and of course - more restaurants. Again, the list goes on and on.

- There are stairs from Sutro to the Beach or an easy walk down Balboa street. Please be careful of the currents here - wading - even to your ankles can be dangerous! Beach Blankets and towels provided on hanging shelf in closet.

House of Bagels

This is under the essentials title because 1) These are the best bagels in the city & 2) they are essential 😊. For gluten free bagels - I only know of the "Odd Bagels" located refrigerator section of Molly Stones & Whole Foods.
Constant security here lately. We usually go to the grocery outlet or Walgreen's first.
