Ocean Beach


Many people visiting San Francisco never make it to Ocean Beach, and that's a shame, because they are too busy with the other tourist spots and miss one of the best outdoor experiences of the city. Ocean Beach stretches from the Cliff House all the way to the San Francisco Zoo. It is an excellent beach for walking, site seeing, Frisbee, dog walking, and for those imperious to cold ocean temperatures, surfing and body boarding.

You can drive along the coastal highway and see the views of the beach. And if you are lucky, you will have to stop at every red light and have a great photo opp (FYI... if you drive exactly 35mph, you will make every green light on this stretch of road).

At the end of Ocean Beach, just across from the old entrance of the SF Zoo is a small deli and liquor store that has the best sandwiches in the Sunset. It's a great place to stop, buy some sandwiches and snacks and head to the beach to catch a picturesque sunset.
