A really pleasant beach to visit and swim in when it's warm enough. Also great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, right next to Fisherman's Warf , and a great pier to walk out on.

My favorite walk in SF! Start near the apartment - walking to Mission Bay/Giants Stadium area by 3rd and King Street, then walk as far as you like - all the way to Fisherman's wharf if you choose, with amazing views of the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, Alcatraz, and more! Plus big art pieces are placed along the path. If you walk to Fisherman's wharf, keep going a bit more to hang out at my favorite beach for swimming in SF if the weather's warm, and a great pier you can walk out on and have amazing views of Golden Gate Bridge.
