Location
Auspiciously located by the tranquil Pacific Ocean, the Seal Rock Inn offers a calm retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of Sutro Heights Park. Just moments away, you can explore the historic ruins of Sutro Baths and the breathtaking coastal paths of Land’s End—all part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Welcome to Seal Rock Inn! Perched above the Pacific, the Seal Rock Inn offers a relaxed escape in one of San Francisco’s most beautiful neighborhoods. Enjoy ocean views, fresh sea air, and the peaceful pace of our coastal surroundings.
Just down the hill, you can explore the historic Cliff House, wander the ruins of Sutro Baths, or take a walk along the wide sands of Ocean Beach. Golden Gate Park and the Palace of the Legion of Honor are only a few blocks away, and the Fort Miley VA Medical Center is just a short stroll.
If you’re an outdoor lover, you’ll feel right at home — we’re close to local golf courses, and right across the street you’ll find miles of trails for walking, biking, and soaking in the natural beauty of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Fear And Loathing on the Campaign Trail, 1972
Dawn is coming up in San Francisco now: 6:09 am … at the Seal Rock Inn … out here at the far end of Geary Street: this is the end of the line, for buses and everything else, the western edge of America.
“… but I have a powerful aversion to working in offices, and when I didn’t show up for three or four days, they decided to do the only logical thing: move the office out here to the Seal Rock Inn.”
—Hunter S. Thompson:
