    To make your visit more memorable, bring your running shoes and go for a run from one end to the other and back. Distance ~5km.

    Driving on the bridge is nothing spectacular. Find a place to get a good view near the beaches and take a picture instead.

    It's pretty windy and chilly over the Bay. Wear appropriate clothing, and watch out for bikers.

    Don't get hung up on Vista Point for photos... there's many locations surrounding with better angles.

    The best way to visit is to go to the view point on the hill nearby at midnight on a full moon night. Surreal!

    Reaching the bridge from Downtown San Francisco? Take any Golden Gate Transit bus along Mission St., Civic Center, or Financial District & tell the driver to let you off at the toll plaza

    There are dolphins and seals in the water below the bridge. Just pay attention as you are walking across, and you will see at least one.

    Avoid sightseeing the bridge during the commute or weekends. Off hours and during the week are much more enjoyable without the crowds and wait times.

    Do make the full crossing and explore Sausalito, very nice little town with a couple of good restaurants for lunch. Then take a ferry back to SF, beats any tourist cruise!

    This isn’t in the National Park System, and there’s no such thing as Golden Gate National Parks... only there are lands nearby that are managed by the National Park Service.

    It only took us 45 min to walk across (one way) and we paused to take pictures along the way. Really fun walk! Do it!

    Rent a bike from Fisherman's Wharf and bike across the bridge for a quicker tour. Watch out if it's a crowded day- the path is thin at points.

    If you want to jump make sure you don't land on a surfer at Ft. Point, you might get rescued. http://forum.surfermag.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2003039&an=0&page=0

    Lots of people running on bridge, watch out for small objects that may fall off the bridge and be lost forever
