Muir Beach Overlook, Coastal viewpoint in Marin County, United States.
The overlook rises 400 feet above the Pacific Ocean, presenting views of steep cliffs, sea stacks, and the northern California shoreline.
Military structures at the site served as lookout points for monitoring aircraft and ships approaching San Francisco during wartime operations.
The observation point connects to a network of hiking paths within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, frequented by nature photographers and hikers.
The parking area includes restroom facilities and picnic tables, with a 200-yard trail leading to the main viewing platform.
During winter months, the overlook serves as an observation point for spotting gray whales migrating along the Pacific coast.
