The Battery Spencer view is the one people imagine before they arrive. Go early, bring a jacket, and do not assume the tiny parking pullout will have space.

Fog rolled through twice while we waited. The first ten minutes were blank, then the bridge appeared with the towers in cloud. Worth the patience.

Beautiful, windy, crowded at sunset. Fort Point was a great second stop when the top pullouts filled up.
C
Editorial Synthesis
The Presidio overlook is underrated if you want a calmer frame. Battery Spencer is the big drama; Presidio is the clean composition.
