Why locals recommend it
The bridge never gets old, even for longtime residents. It is spectacular, and is best experienced by bike. It’s two miles long and takes 20 minutes to cross. For a great ride, rent a Mission Bicycle, take the Wiggle to Golden Gate Park, and then cross the Presidio to the bridge and ride into Sausalito. From Sausalito, catch the ferry back to SF. The western walkway is open to cyclists only, so you get across more quickly. Tourists tend to mob the eastern, pedestrian side. At night, the bridge is closed to pedestrians but not to cyclists. You push a button and an unseen guard buzzes you in.
Tips from locals
When you think of San Francisco you think of the Golden Gate Bridge. Sausalito is the first town over this beautiful bridge on the north side. It is a suspension bridge one mile wide. You can drive, ride a bike or walk across the bridge and take in the breathtaking views.
I would recommend driving across the bridge and parking at Golden Gate Bridge View Vista Point and then hopping out to take a stroll/bike ride. For a higher view point check out Golden Gate View Point on google maps
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
