This is a lovely shop and cafe at Crissy Field, run by the GGNRA. After a windy walk down the beach, refuel here - the food is healthy and yummy. This is also a good place to buy SF books and maps.

Crissy Field, once an army airfield, is a beautifully reclaimed beach and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). You can stroll or bike down the beach all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge - it's a great sunset spot! Underneath the bridge is Fort Point, an old military fort - if you want an unusual view of the bridge, go to the roof of the fort and look up.
