Review:
Ocean Beach is a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is located in the Richmond District, next to Golden Gate Park, with the Great Highway running alongside. The Cliff House and the former Sutro Baths are located at the beach’s northern end. In the spring and summer, the beach is often hidden by fog, but that does not stop the surfers and bonfire parties from enjoying this lovely sandy spot. The water at Ocean Beach is known for large waves and very strong currents, making it dangerous for swimming but a delight for serious surfers. Although the water is cold, the beach is one of the top surfing spots in the Bay Area.
