Ocean Beach is the widest and longest expanse of sand on San Francisco’s shores, extending from the Cliff House to Fort Funston along the Pacific Ocean. This is a great place to sit or stroll, fly kites, and fish the surf. Occasionally, it’s warm enough to lie in the sun. Dogs are welcome on-leash or under voice control.
The water at Ocean Beach is notorious for its strong currents and fierce waves, making it popular—but dangerous—among serious surfers.
