China Beach is one of San Francisco’s most serene coastal escapes, tucked away between the cliffs of Sea Cliff and Lands End. Known for its quiet atmosphere and sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the beach offers a perfect balance of natural beauty and city proximity. The sheltered cove provides calm waters, making it a peaceful spot for sunbathing, picnicking, or simply reflecting while listening to the gentle waves. With its dramatic backdrop of rocky cliffs and the iconic bridge in view, China Beach feels like a hidden gem—an intimate retreat within the heart of the city.

Video of Ocean Beach Open to the wide Pacific Ocean, yet with some protection. The sea gives and takes as one perpetual movement, slow, and quiet, loud and abundant. The sea is a grande contradiction and is beyond reason.
