Lands End Labyrinth

Lands End Labyrinth is a circular stone formation on a coastal bluff offering direct views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean. The path spans roughly 35 feet (11 meters) in diameter, creating a centered focal point on this dramatic stretch of coastline.

Eduardo Aguilera built the original formation in 2004 and maintained it over several years. After repeated damage, artists created a new stone structure at the site in 2021.

The spiral path draws people seeking a moment of reflection and meditation in nature. Visitors often leave small personal items and notes here, creating an informal gathering place for inner thought.

The route involves a roughly 3-kilometer round trip hike from the Lands End parking lot at 680 Point Lobos Avenue through steep coastal trails. Wear sturdy shoes and bring layers, as the terrain is uneven and coastal weather can change quickly.

A heart-shaped stone sculpture by artists Christian Tabing-Dalit and Thomas Lew replaced the original formation after vandalism. This unexpected transformation gives the location a new layer of personal meaning and artistic intent.
