Steal this tip: the residents of the Sunset, a stalwart breed, know the secrets of the ever-changing atmosphere at Ocean Beach. On any given day, you can experience balmy breezes, violent surf, or near-Caribbean tranquility and sunshine a mere few feet away from urban San Francisco. Wet your feet, brave the dunes or wander along the paved footpath. It extends along five miles of beachfront on Great Highway from Sloat to Lincoln or past the Golden Gate Park toward Land’s End. Bring your sunglasses and layers for an unbeatable day of fun.
