Some might think that with the typical fog and much cooler temperatures along the shoreline of San Francisco, tourist and visitors to those beaches would be unlikely. However, this is not the case at all. San Francisco is home to some very beautiful Pacific coastline. Some of the best beaches near San Francisco are popular for their history, beautiful site seeing and surfing to name just a few.

Ocean Beach is best described as a peaceful venture away while it offers a sense of serenity. While residing so close to the busy city, it is easily accessible and is ideal for those who need a break from the city to relax, gather thoughts and meditate. Writers are commonly seen there taking advantage of the natural influence and calm atmosphere. While Aquatic Park is a vast contrast to the serenity offered at Ocean Beach, it offers vacationers a nice place to take children to play and is near Square and other tourist spots such as Hyde Street Pier and the Maritime Museum as well making this Bay Beach an exciting and family friendly place to visit!

Among the best and family friendly beaches in the area is East Beach also known as China Beach and Stinson Beach located across the Golden Gate Bridge. Both provide visitors easily accessible amenities. For those seeking something more adventurous, Baker Beach is what some refer to as a ?nude beach? and one of the finest beaches in the area. The view from Baker is exquisite and is one of the best places to see San Francisco?s famous landmarks. Imaginably because of this, it is one of the most populated beaches around. Whether visiting or locally inhabited people from all over take pride in the beaches offered in the bay area as well as the oceanic regions.
