Beach overall scores
Kirby Beach (California) is located outside the Sausalito settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The hike leading to the beach is truly delightful, with breathtaking vistas that are simply awe-inspiring. It appears that the winter season is the perfect time to appreciate the stunning scenery. My visit in February to witness the sunrise was truly unforgettable, as I was the only one present to take in the serene atmosphere."
Maxwell Stoneham.
"This breathtaking beach is the perfect spot to catch a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge in the early hours of the morning. The short and pleasant hike down to the shore is a great way to start your day. The best part? You'll have the entire beach to yourself before the sun rises! It's an idyllic location for taking stunning photos or simply relaxing and enjoying the sunrise..."
