The 16th Avenue Tiled Steps, a hidden gem, is a sea-to-stars-themed mosaic flowing up a 163-step stairway in San Francisco's Golden Gate Heights Neighborhood. The Neighbors sponsored the handmade named tiles in the shapes of animals, fish, and shells within the mosaic for the beautiful stairs.
There are no public restrooms in the vicinity. Hidden Garden Steps, another colorful set of stairs, are around the corner at 1520 16th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122.
The lovely spiral design with tiny sea creatures has a sea-to-stars theme. The tiles have the names of the sponsors’ loved ones, and few of them have the sponsors’ names.
The top two sections of the stairs are the most photographed; one section with the moon and the top section with the sun.
Enjoy the stairs from close up and far away.
Visitors will also find beautifully manicured gardens on both sides of the stairs.
