- Kirsten AlanaFebruary 23, 2016Hike down early to grab your spot for sunset. It's well worth the walk down from the main road. Just stunning!
- The Ritz-CarltonSeptember 2, 2015The other-worldly Sutro Bath ruins on the north end of Ocean Beach, was formerly a family swimming and amusement center in the late nineteenth century built by millionaire Adolph Sutro.
- Caroline DengJune 20, 2015There's a secret cave at the bottom of the staircase that's really cool. The best time to come is around sunset, but there are a lot of tourists. Parking is difficult.
- Mary DawsonJuly 25, 2017Great walk along the water. Highly recommend checking everything out at the top of the hill for amazing views!

- Samuel BowlesAugust 30, 2014Beautiful and totally worth the trip. Stop by the gift shop and page through some books on what it used to look like. Prepare to be amazed.

- Dana JensenDecember 16, 2014Beautiful sunsets, not hideously overcrowded, and you can take a hike after you visit if you want. There's a lot of balancing on walls, so leave small kids at home for everyone's sake.
- Shikamaru NaraJuly 27, 2015Awesome place to check out and explore. Smells like seafood because of the ocean there of course. Kind of gross if you're not used to it
- Jenna SJune 14, 2016Climb around the ruins, find the cave, if its low tide you can climb one of the big rocks in the surf

- Jennifer BurlingtonJanuary 22, 2013Make sure to walk everywhere and on everything. Including in the tunnels to see the epic surges through the caverns. Also, go to the diner up top for a nice view and a mediocre breakfast.....
- Lia ShieldsDecember 2, 2013Fantastic views - interesting site. The DVD from the gift shop is very interesting. Sunday Brunch at the Cliff House is excellent and very swank!!
- _January 25, 2016This was once a public salt water swimming pool that went out of business because of how expensive it was to operate and maintain. Now people walk the edges of the concrete walls to enjoy the view.

- Jinnie LOctober 23, 2014have a fun exploring the ruins. really unique place with the views n cave ;)
- Anthony NudoApril 29, 2012I don't recommend wearing nice/expensive shoes. The inside of the cave can get quite muddy from the waves splashing in from outside.
- Gia Lugo OvertonSeptember 16, 2010Beautiful! Just be aware there are 120+ steps down that you have to climb back up. Or you can take the ramp but that doubles the distance.
- Alex ShepardJanuary 6, 2013There is a river otter that lives in the baths! Look for a trail of bubbles to find out where he will pop up next.
- SukiSeptember 17, 2020Looks like ancient ruins, only demolished (mostly by a fire) in 1966. Walk along the walls, but be careful!
- Lisa KotowskiOctober 16, 2015Don't forget to go into the tunnel! It's on the north west side of the baths.
- Make sure you check out the tunnel down and to the right! The waves crashing in there sound like thunder!
- Runqiu CaiFebruary 5, 2015Listen to the 99% invisible podcast episode "young ruin" before coming. Come at sunset
