USA Fort Baker
I have always loved this spot and found it by accident. I wanted to get below the bridge on the north side, and just took a chance on a few streets. Picked an otherwise useless bridge photography day as the fog was to thick to photograph from above.
Photography Tips
I have been unsuccessful with night shots from this location, but I dont get the chance often as I am there as a tourist. A lot of ships pass under the bridge. I was lucky enough to get a coast guard boat.
Best time to shoot from this spot is when the bridge is engulfed in fog or during blue hour (45 minutes after sunset).

Travel Information
You need a car from what I can see. There is a toll to get over golden gate. Take the Alexander Ave exit right after and go right (left takes you to some of the classic spots). First left you can take, take it, then loop back right under the road. GPS helps, getting lost helps more.
