Thanks! My girlfriend lives out there and I found this spot on a previous trip. It's just off of Lincoln BLVD. If you drive down the driveway and around the old fort (at least thats what it looks like) there's a small dirt parking lot and a path along the cliffs. It's absolutely beautiful and whenever I've been it's desolate. Never another car and only once have I seen people on the path. This day, the lighting happened to be perfect from my angle. The little driveway is called "Dove Loop" on google maps although it's not marked as such and is little more than a dirt driveway. Here's a look at it on google maps.

Ah-ha, I know exactly where that is... I usually head straight to the beach access when I'm up there (Baker Beach), and have never explored the hills above. I'll have to check it out next time! Wanted to go to the beach today, but it was too darned cold - big surprise.
The pic itself isn't so hot, and needs to be cleaned up I guess, but I want to share it since it's my first time playing round with shutter speed, which is 20-30s. I'm still not sure how to avoid having the sky blow out with such a slow shutter. Any advice?
Try different times of day. Specifically, I'm thinking of less light. For example here is a shot at the Japanese Gardens in Phoenix:

I've lived in San Francisco most of my life, and have never seen the bridge from that perspective... where exactly were you standing?
