🏖️ Beach day

Bring a jacket anyway. · 5 places with photos
Baker Beach
outdoors · Presidio
Wide stretch of sand with the Golden Gate framed dead ahead. The classic SF beach day, kites and all.
China Beach
outdoors · Sea Cliff
Sheltered Sea Cliff cove, calmer than Baker, with bridge views and rare swimmable-ish water. Real lounging.
Ocean Beach
outdoors · Outer Sunset
Three miles of wild Pacific sand at the city's edge. Bonfires, long walks, room to spread out.
Marshall's Beach
outdoors · Presidio
Hike-down beach with maybe the best straight-on bridge view in the city. Steep trail, big sandy reward.
Crissy Field
outdoors · Presidio
Flat shoreline walk that ends at a beach with the Golden Gate dead ahead. Sand to lounge on, dogs, kites.
