Winding around San Francisco’s Seacliff neighborhood, a short distance to the beach area (first pic) from where I started at 29th Ave. & California, the main stairway down has 104 steps: 1 thru 10.
From the foot, an additional 20 wood and old concrete steps down to the sand on the west side: 11, 12.
On the beach: 13, 14.
There are also 21 separate concrete steps down to the sand (pic 15), 20 up to the observation deck (pic 16), and 20 more down from the upper deck back to the foot of the long stairway (pic 17). The showers are closed now due to the water shortage.
From here, winding a few blocks to the west on El Camino del Mar (pic 18) will take you to Land’s End's east trailhead.
East to west on the main Land’s End/Coastal Trail: 19 thru 25.
Trail I like just below the golf course (especially during blackberry season): pic 26.
Connector stairs from Coastal Trail/Land’s End Trail up to El Camino del Mar Trail, 89 steps: 27, 28.
El Camino del Mar Trail footbridge: 29, 30 (just before stairway up to west end of Legion of Honor parking lot).
El CamIno del Mar Trail view down to second overlook on the Coastal Trail, pic 31.
Upper parking lot overlook: top of stairway down to Coastal Trail from west end of El Camino del Mar Trail, about 59 steps: last two.
