Point Bonita is part of the largest urban national park in the United States, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). A secret jewel of the Bay Area, Point Bonita is still an active lighthouse. The U.S. Coast Guard maintains the lighthouse and the National Park Service provides access to visitors.

Point Bonita Lighthouse is reached by a half-mile trail that is steep in parts. Discover Point Bonita’s wild landscape, geology and fascinating history. The tunnel halfway to the lighthouse is open seasonally. Visit the website for those hours of operation.

UPDATE 2024; THE POINT BONITA LIGHTHOUSE & SUSPENSION BRIDGE LEADING TO IT ARE CLOSED until further notice.
However, the tunnel and trail leading towards the lighthouse/bridge will be open during the below hours of operation, with staff on site.
Views of the lighthouse from across the bridge, are available during the below hours of operation - but crossing the suspension bridge towards the lighthouse is off limits until further notice.
