5 Best Locations to Propose in San Francisco

San Francisco Proposal Ideas

There are many iconic locations to propose in San Francisco, California. As romantic as San Francisco is, it’s hard to not fall in love with it and all of its charm! Don’t get overwhelmed with all of the options, scenic viewpoints, and things to do: I’ve got you covered. Below I’ll list the best locations to propose in San Francisco as well as tips for hiring your proposal photographer.

Battery East Trail

Battery East Trail is an easy trail that is less than a mile long and offers incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Along the Battery East Trail, you can find the Ft Point View point.

Golden Gate Viewpoint

The Golden Gate Postcard Viewpoint is where you can snap your most iconic postcard image with the bridge that is so quintessential to San Francisco. It is high enough that you can soaring views of the bay and the bridge, making it a memorable location for a proposal.

Baker Beach

Having the Golden Gate Bridge in the background of this beautiful beach makes for some epic photos! Spend some time doing some “just engaged” photos running along the shore and taking in all the views.

Sutro Baths

Once the world’s largest indoor swimming pool, this privately owned complex burned down to its foundation in the 1960’s. Its ruins are all that’s left, offering a unique location surrounded by crashing waves and dramatic cliffs.

Marshall Beach

I think Marshall Beach is the best of both worlds: you get the bridge, up close and personal, towering directly over you. It is a bit of a hike down to the beach, but once you get there, it is absolutely worth it.
