Review:
Located in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood, China Beach is a small cove which you will find nestled between Baker Beach and Lands End. The name is derived from the cove’s former use as a campsite for Chinese fishermen. You can access the beach from the end of Sea Cliff Avenue. China Beach is brilliant for sun-bathing and relaxing as it is protected on 2 sides by rock walls. You can enjoy wonderful views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge as you soak up some sun. Unfortunately, swimming and wading are discouraged due to strong currents. The beach is great for tide-pooling at low tide and there are restrooms, showers and picnic tables.
China Beach, 340 Sea Cliff Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94121
