    Walk the path around the water's edge. The low hills and steady winds make it a great spot to watch the light shift as the sun heads toward the WSW.

    Stay for the sunset. The view of the bay, Alcatraz, and the GG Bridge is best in the fading light.

    Head back toward the parking area on Spinnaker as it gets dark. The park closes at 10PM, so you have plenty of time.

Local tip

The park is open daily from 6AM to 10PM. Bring a light jacket as the wind off the bay can be chilly after sunset.
