Description
Added by Pascual Dutton
Tennessee Beach via Tennessee Valley Trail is a short hike with varying topography that ends at a beautiful and less-crowded beach. This is the perfect outing for the casual hiker. It’s easy to explore adjoining trails and is kid/family friendly.
The Tennessee Valley trail is leisurely 3.6 mile roundtrip hike that turns around at Tennessee Valley Cove. Along the way, you’ll hike past shrublands, wetlands, and a lake before you get to a cool little secluded beach that many people picnic at.
This is probably the easiest to access, and most popular, hike just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a perfect option for those without a lot of time, or if you’re looking to stretch your legs a bit without getting crazy. It’s just long enough to feel like you’ve earned that post-hike brunch at The Dipsea Café .
There are a number of nice bathrooms at the start and end of the trail, along with picnic tables and drinking water.

Tennessee Beach via Tennessee Valley Trail Reviews
Plan on hiking up to the overlook. It's a beautiful view & gets the blood flowing.
Great way to hike off brunch! The trail was very low-key and the beach is beautiful.
5.0
The trail splits about halfway into the hike. Stay right for an elevated perspective of the valley. It's just a tad longer, but I it's a nicer view - and you can take the lower trail back to the parking lot.
