North Beach stairs to Coit Tower views

This loop starts with North Beach at your back and the neighborhood’s daily life underfoot, then drifts north toward the waterfront before climbing into the hidden gardens and stairways of Telegraph Hill. By the time you reach Coit Tower and the hilltop park, the walk has built from quiet pockets to the full sweep of the bay.
