Join us in bliss North end of the warmest beach in SF sheltered from wind in natural cove of sunny delight 

Inspired conversation different every day as new  traveling souls discover this warm hot sunny nekkid nook of balmy sunbathers 
North end of beach attracts outdoor enthusiasts of every flavor from water sports canoe kayak enthusiasts to bohemian backpacking hostelers and international seekers

Swimming is safe up to 100m or 100 yards out. No more. 

How come the lifeguard couldn’t save the hippie?
Cause he was too FAR OUT! 

Group of friends on beach by volleyball net allows sheer abandon as we doff our clothes to
Skip and prance nekkid through gentle waves northward through many beaches on our way to magnificent Golden Gate Bridge 

Bouldering and rock climbing opportunities are many

6 paths northward allow all combinations of wet to dry travel depending on Billy goat skills

Best place ever to learn to rock climb as you can climb a meter or two high, then simply travel sideways over the sound and if you slip oops ha ha you land on sand ok. Let’s go again so fun 

Oodles of interesting characters to talk to as we travel north through other beaches of small and large parties of happy silly people, enjoying carefree, surf and sand

Returning South at sunset through endless out crops of climbable sandstone with stars, Sea enenemies, striped shore crabs, California muscles, sand crabs, occasional Dungeness crab 

Family of 4 Red Tail Hawks, UnKindness of Ravens, Murder of Crows, pelicans, cormorants, avocet murre snowy plover Tern occasional Owls Bats all common. Coyotes too! Fox rare. 
Great Blue Heron Lesser Egret occasional 
Canada Goose rare here 

Dolphins Porpoise Seal Sea Lion

Dolphins also in pods of any number 3 5 7 12 or more swim 50-100’ 20-30m off shore 
Super close coming up for air every 35 or seven minutes depending on their activity and breathing cycles catching fish

We always watch the ocean for pelicans, diving for fish as this will often indicate sea mammals often dolphins and whales

8 Grey Whales common and frequent visits in Pod of eight which splits into part of five that hang out in Baker Bay towards Marin and part of three, which sometimes swims under the Golden Gate Bridge, then down closer to Baker Beach
After sunset, all eight gray whales swim west Southwest around land south to Ocean Beach

Lands End and Sutro baths are excellent vistas to watch grey whales and occasional blue whale. The blue whales are very rare.

Sutro baths and tunnels exploration can easily be a day afternoon or evening
In themselves as top tunnel allows a rock climbing experience north from tunnel to crazy rocks up to forest, connecting to land end

Low tide allows walking on beach from Sutro baths underneath famous cliff house, fourth generation architecture on this site to Ocean Beach bonfires in front of Golden Gate Park

Rounding the bend atop Cliffhouse allows breathtaking view of Ocean Beach south, with 20 or more bonfires spotting the beach at night

Crazy fun, micro parties at so many bonfires are insanely random during larger weekends of
Bay to Breakers Foot Race Sun May 18 2025

These eves plus warm weekends see 100s of s’mores, and wiener roasting party revelers on the beach, allowing Fascinating encounters between 20 official app, approved concrete fire pits and up to 50 or 100 renegade fires on these two special weekends.

Hunger is natural at this late hour
Noshing by campfire meeting wild spirits is a fitting complement to an adventurous day

Most busy nights officers attempt to close the fires at 9:30/10 PM, though with varying degrees of success, depending on crowds and days people tend to return anyway
Mostly cops say no glass, alcohol or drugs on beach. Officers mostly friendly except to litterbugs. 

After 10 our bodies have been enervated all day
Muscles could be sore soon so we should shower or bathe, soothe our souls, slip into clean soft sheets and laugh at the unlikely and unbelievable sillinesses of the day

And then tomorrow, Dolphins! 🐬
