Scenic Approach

From North of the Golden Gate Bridge: Take the last Sausalito exit off Highway 101, just before the Golden Gate Bridge. At the exit stop sign, turn left. Follow directions below.

Stay to your left and follow the signs for Highway 101 South (this will bring you under the freeway to the other side). Follow directions below.

Just before the entrance to the Golden Gate Bridge, look for Conzelman Road on your right with signs for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and the Marin Headlands. Conzelman Road will be the only road going uphill within sight of the freeway. Turn right onto Conzelman Road. Follow this road until it forks at McCullough Road. Turn right at the fork onto McCullough Road, heading downhill. At the bottom of the hill, turn left onto Bunker Road. Follow Bunker Road for approximately 3 miles. Ignore various forks to the left; always bear to the right to make sure you stay on Bunker Road. Rodeo lagoon is your next landmark. About halfway alongside the lagoon, the road forks and you will see a sign on your right hand side for The Marine Mammal Center. Do not bear right uphill to The Center. Continue straight along the lagoon towards the beach. Take the last right, at the Rodeo Beach parking lot. The Administration Building is the second building up from the beach on the right. Look for our seal logo and a #1065 sign.
