Baker Beach is a part of the ocean located in San Francisco County, California. It is most popular for fishing Barred surfperch, Striped bass, and Rubberlip seaperch. A fisherman is trying his luck on a cloudy, stormy evening against the Golden Gate Bridge.
Fishing at Baker Beach
Baker Beach has one of the best sunset views in San Francisco as the sun reflects on the bridge. While we were there on a foggy evening, a slight break in the clouds let in some light. Swimmers were in the water watching the light in the clouds.
Sunset light illuminated the clouds over the Golden Gate Bridge, providing a surreal image.
