Reviews of USS San Francisco Memorial (Park)

Galina Bogdanova

I'm in love! The Golde Gate bridge has been on my bucket list for such a long time! It was majestic! We were lucky to go on a clear and bright sunny day and enjoy the great view. The only mistake was we decided to take a bus tour and don't get me wrong, we liked it but definitely needed more than 10 minutes to enjoy it. Go there with your own vehicle so you can stay and enjoy it as long as you desire! It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

My daughter's wedding was at city hall. If you are wanting to do a quick thing. This is a beautiful place for your wedding. Only six can be at event lots of stairs. They do have elevators. Built in like 1903 I think.

Miles Sergeant

Amazing arts and architecture from 15th and 16th century.

Nick Klinstiver

I really enjoyed this one. The memorial comes with a story about the engagement and its impact. It's also at a beautiful location. It is definitely worth a visit and a few minutes of your time.

Great place to walk with a gorgeous view the whole way. It is pretty windy here so make sure to bring a jacket. If you don't have one then warm up by running up and down the stairs!

Sugandha Gupta

The land's end trail hike and the San Francisco memorial are definitely worth a visit. There's a parking lot nearby, and it's an easy hike.

Richard Vance

Once again very beautiful but the water was cold

Mateo Guiscafré vom Bruch

Beautiful Park where you can take a beautiful walk in the bay with breathtaking wiews of the city's main attraction;the Golden Gate. If you take the steps downhill you can visit a beautiful natural beach where you can take wonderful photos.

Sirikul Ploy Saiseubyat-Fong

Visit my father often and must say that I'm impressed by the upkeep of the grounds and the time they put into everything. Organized, well-kept and always respectable when it comes to holidays and such. They even pick up the flower holders and put them in locations around the grounds for people to use. Thank you

Hsin Hua

I interesting place to walk around with friends

Chris Nininger

Get out here and see our beautiful coastline

Tom Sliker

Great location if you are trying to escape the rush and the crowds of the city and looking for a bit of peace and quiet. Nothing but you and the wind and sea here. Enjoy.

Absolutely a "must visit" memorial site for those who appreciate WW2 history, or for anyone who is grateful to those who serve their country and fellow man, by putting their own lives at peril -- in the hope that a better tomorrow might be achieved! Take the time to read the placards here. Look out to the Pacific Ocean. Be grateful that you are alive today - and able to ponder the history of the USS San Francisco! A beautiful and poignant spot for you to be.

Scott Gilroy

Great views, great vibe, great place to go for a walk around the shore

SpunKz DesignZ

Best memorial place ever.

Lubna Shahin

Tim Little

Lovely, relaxing area. Great photo opportunity.

Nicole Ramirez

Lovely time with the love of my life and our

Bay Walker

Lovely Memorial. I'd have never known about this bit of history. Beautifully tucked away and makes the area even more interesting.

Stina Baby

I love the beach n always have things to ser n do

EmA

Nice airy place to visit & to just take a walk around the place too.

Jarred Dunlap

Honestly ignore whatever predisposition you have of this place. Go here. Sit out and watch the sunset on the bay. And tell me it's anything less than incredible.

Nate Rock

The view of the bay is fantastic. The Lincoln pro golf course is well maintained and beautiful... even in the fog. The road going out the eastern side was closed when we went so we had to do a u-turn, but it made up for it by having a Batman symbol on the construction sign.

Mr. De Mata

Great art gallery in which has impressed me

Henry Martin

Today (on Memorial Day Sunday) my wifey’s father was honored here, he was a Marine on the USS San Francisco Ca 38 in the battle of Guadalcanal (he was a Gunner that day shooting 20 mm rounds at attacking Fighter planes) I total over 37,000 men’s lost their lives in this strategic battle also know as Iron bottom bay (because of pall the ships that sank there in battle) including an admiral. The memorial park is located at lands end just to the left of the parking lot where you can see a section of the ship that looks like Swiss cheese. As you walk just about 100 feet south of the memorial you can see The Golden gate perfectly and if you dare, you can envision the dilapidated USS San Francisco sailing back under it, on its way back home. Every year on memorial weekend (Sunday) they hold a service remembering all the men that died in the battle on the USS San Francisco. 100 Salors and 7 Marines that were also on the ship. At 11am.

Andrew Woulfin

susan j hestand

Spectacular views...nice walking paths...just a perfect way to spend a day.

Charles Green

Breath taking and humbling! A stunning tribute to the hero's of this great and Noble country. Let's all work to keep America Great! Our enemies are many and cunning. They now attack us with lies and slander. As a wise man once said "When your on top, nobody loves you!"

dristi tuladhar

Its just so beautiful and breathtaking

de Anguelo

This museum is simply wonderful!! The jaw-dropping paintings, breathtaking sculptures, and rare artifacts will definitely leave you empty, but only until you reach the museum's restaurant. This is where you find satiating food that is simply delicious, and culminates a dazzling tour of artists that appear to be touched by the hand of God.

Jay Jiang

Amazing views along the coastal track and very interesting memorial. The actual ship bridge from the battle is mounted on display there, you can see where the shells ripped into the metal armour.

John Tieu

A great day to be outside in the warm sun. The trail to rock point circle leads you down an easy path with amazing views of the golden gate bridge.

Omar Alalawi

30 June and its 60 degrees. A wonderful spot to see the sunset

Beautiful view but a steep hike with lots of stairs.

MELITA BUSTILLOS

Amazing place .. You will not be disappointed

Malabika Mishra

The views are spectacular from here, and the walk is a really good one

Pobed Lavrentjev

This is called End of land for a reason. Cliffs drop precipitously, and there is an endless ocean.

Carol Matthews

Spectacular view of downtown San Francisco. Don't expect to actually be able to sit at "the bench" unless you wrestle with the number of photographers that will undoubtedly be standing around the same area, taking the same picture. They have plenty of benches, but they do close at sunset so get there early and watch it before they close the park!

Mike Wright

Land's End National Park great for seeing sun sets.

Nick Vollono

The story on the plaque is absolutely amazing. Highly suggest reading

keshavamurthy pura suryanarayana

Sussana Lee

Peaceful, warm with slight breeze, fresh air (maybe not 29 % air pollution from China) few tourists, gorgeous view from beach. And VA hospital. Had a bench all to myself napping in the sun listening to Hamilton soundtrack

Clynton Taylor

If you’re lucky enough to catch this gem on a sunny day you’ll be in for quite the view. With the open sea on your left, the Golden Gate Bridge on your right, and the Marin Headlands dead ahead, you’ll find yourself in complete awe. Even in the fog you’ll appreciate the raw beauty of the Northern California coast. Plenty of short hikes from this launching off point mean you can easily extend the joy all afternoon. Just pack layers as the weather can change quickly.

Keith Paul

Great scenic views.

Terri Coffman

Great stop, it's worth it.

Russell Riechmann

It's a great and wonderful historical memorial. I'm reading about it right now in a book called "Neptune's Inferno". It's in regards to the invasion of Guadalcanal. I'm finding it a great work of history. Check if out.
