Pomponio State Beach

👍👍 This was a fun, random stop to stretch our legs while driving down Hwy 1. We saw some cool caves and there was a lot of ocean life in the little puddles on the bluffs. A fun place to explore and move around before getting back on the road.

Crissy Field South Beach

Beach

👍👍 It's a beach so it's got water and sand, but it also has nice views of Golden Gate Bridge and plenty of parking. It's also easy to get to on foot or on the 30 bus. There's construction happening nearby for the Presidio Tunnel Tops but you won't hear it because the ocean and people chatting drown it...

Tennessee Beach

Beach

👍👍 Tennessee valley trail is a cool hike to enjoy nature and dip your toes in the ocean all at the same time. This trail is about 1.75 miles one way to the beach but is absolutely worth it. Beach lovers would love the views and variety of beach sections and the rocks around. Small stones, smaller stone...

The bluffs are nice to walk along, it’s easy to access the beach, there’s surfers to watch if you want to sit on the beach and just relax (not my style), the sand is comfortable to walk barefoot on, but the be...

Drakes Beach

Beach

👍👍 Great idea just for one time short trip. Although, this place is special because you can see the seals really close while they are resting on the beach. And if you hike a bit up, really close from the parking (couple of meters) you will be able to observe beautiful view of the ocean and the cliffs....

Seaside Creek Beach

👍👍 This is a true hidden gem. The beach is huge. There are gorgeous rock formations. You can even go up to some rocks and maybe meditate there, it’s magnificent. There are almost no people on the beach. Such a great place.
