How to Get There: Even for long time residents in San Francisco, finding your way around the Presidio can be somewhat of a challenge. You are going to want to pay attention or you will end up on the wrong side of the bridge. From San Francisco you should drive west on Marina. Once you reach the intersection with Lyon St, continue straight to Mason where Doyle Drive diverges toward the left toward the Golden Gate Bridge. You should be looking for the East Beach entrance, which will be on the right. From Marin, on the other hand, you can drive south to cross the Golden Gate Bridge, taking the Lombard Street entrance to reach the presidio. Turn right to reach Lincoln, then turn right again when you reach Halleck. Continue straight on until you reach Mason, turning right and continuing on until you reach the East Beach entrance, which will be on the left side.
