1000 Point Lobos, 
San Francisco shoreline.  
(O) (P) Closest payphone 
to the ruins of the Sutro 
Baths.  Beautiful view of 
Pacific Ocean, and right 
next to  street vendors 
selling cheap T-shirts.                (415) 668-8753
		The Gray Line city tour makes a stop 
		right at this payphone to allow tourists 
		to look at the ruins of the Sutro Baths 
		down the hill, visit the Old Cliff House, 
		which is on the top of cliffs at the oceanside, 
		and pick up lunch.  There's also a public 
		restroom with handicapped access within 
		shouting distance of the phone.

		I believe this is the most scenic payphone 
		I've ever seen.

		The older lady in the gift shop there used to 
		go to the Sutro Baths as a young child.

Tourist area, South end 
Golden Gate Bridge.
Next to coffee/hotdog stand.           (415) 921-9400
		Tourists seem to get a big charge 
		out of calling home from the 
		Golden Gate. 

		Often bus occupants will 
		stand in line 15/20 min. 
		waiting to call rather 
		than walk out to 
		   the bridge.
