Added by Brian Heifferon

You'll feel like you're out of the hustle of the city taking in the sunset at OB. It's an easy meeting spot for friends, family, and large groups - you can take the N Judah all the way to the beach.

Yes, it's often cold in the city. So, what's the best way to warm up? Bring some blankets, a jacket or two, and come out to Ocean Beach to enjoy a bonfire, a sunset, and some quality time with friends. The fire pits are between Fulton and Lincoln. On a sunny day, get there early if you want to get an actual fire pit! Need to kill a little time waiting for the crew to show up, go for a surf or set up a volleyball net!

First week of January OB Surf+Bonfire is a must - Offshore winds, winter swell, plenty of Christmas Trees in the streets to burn on the beach.

You can sometimes get the evening glass-off, so don't count OB out!

Dress warmly!! It can get pretty cold out there. Also, the Safeway right by the beach sells kindling and firewood.

You can pick up wood at the Safeway on La Playa. You should get there early if you want a fire pit. There were people building fires in the sand - not the safest idea, but it was happening.

Surf Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach has long stints of good waves during the fall and winter months. During the fall, winds are favorably offshore creating warm and hollow conditions. Once winter hits, wave size can increase to the 12-15ft range on big swells and it gets pretty cold - that's when you'll see people breaking out their booties, hood, and for some, gloves. During the summer and spring months, the waves ca...

Bouldering at Ocean Beach

Tired of climbing in a gym, check out one of the city's best outdoor climbing spots! Below the Cliff House at the north-end of Ocean Beach, there are several great bouldering problems and a retaining wall to climb. The rock is comprised of greenstone and sandstone with cracks and edges. These routes are best at low tide when they're more accessible, but be aware that the problems are highballs,...

Whether you simply look down on the ruins from the [conveniently located] parking lot above, or choose to walk down the stairs and explore, you will be greeted with stunning views of the Baths, and the Pacific Ocean stretching infinitely beyond. The highlight of any trip to the Sutro Baths is the cliffside tunnel. As you walk through, the corridor is filled with briny mist and the booming so...
