    Beautiful, secluded. Somewhat protected from the wind. Not many people go there since Baker Beach is so close, just around the rocks. Swam with a random dolphin couple once. Awesome place.

    "Ample space to stretch out and socialize. Communal barbecue pits and picnic tables line the area, along with arguably the best tide pools one can explore anywhere in San Francisco."

    Hey, we don't really have many other choices. The water is cold and uninviting. Lots of douche frat guys playing sandbag drinking games. On the other hand there is a great view of the bridge.

    Hier kann man auch schöne Fotos von der Brücke machen. Der Strand ist nicht voll, man hat hier Ruhe.
