From Eagles Point, the Coastal Trail follows the 1880s roadbed of the Ferries and Cliffhouse Railroad. At every turn of the trail on this windy and rocky northwestern corner of San Francisco, there is another stunning view. Along the way you'll see hillsides of cypress and wildflowers, views of old shipwrecks, access to the epic ruins of Sutro Baths, pocket beaches and the Lookout Visitor Center.

In 2014, the existing overlook at Eagles Point was replaced with a more subtle and setback viewpoint along the trail. Diseased trees were removed and the area was replanted with native vegetation.
