We visited this beautiful iconic bridge on what started to be a very foggy morning. After being there for about half an hour the fog lifted and the sun shone through and we were able to see its impressive structure. We parked on the south side where there is a car park, cafes, gift shops and toilets all within walking distance from the car park. You can also walk and cycle onto the bridge as well as drive across it. This has an electronic toll with no cash collecting toll booths. So don't forget to pay the toll. You can find more details on golden gate tolls web site. Whilst on our trip we were also able to capture glimpses from the Oakland/San Francisco ferry, docking at pier 41 and also the ferry that went to Alcatraz. Admittedly it wasn't a full view but both Alcatraz and the Oakland to pier 41 gave a enchanted feel as the fog flowed gently over the bridge revealing parts of the bridge and its towers. I'm sure on a better day you would be able to see a lot more.
