15 Outdoor Spots You Won't Believe Exist in the Heart of San Francisco​

Adored for its rolling dunes, steep cliffs, and vast coastline, this outdoor oasis makes a serene spot for anyone in search of a scenic stroll. And because the entire beach is dog-friendly, expect to find lots of wagging tails playing in the cold water during your visit!
