A mile and a half walk or bike ride along the Perimeter Road from Ayala Cove. As you follow the road counterclockwise, you’ll pass the remnants of Camp Reynolds and enjoy views across Richardson Bay, before the San Francisco skyline dramatically appears. The trailhead to Perles Beach is easy to miss. It’s marked by a small “Beach” sign at the eastern end of a wooden fence near a lookout point with benches and binoculars.
