China Beach

Tucked below the cliffs of San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood, this quiet stretch of Pacific coastline is China Beach—one of the city's best-kept secrets. Nestled between the bluffs of Lands End and the mansions of Sea Cliff, China Beach offers visitors a peaceful refuge with panoramic views of the Marin Headlands, distant cargo ships, and the iconic Mile Rock Lighthouse peeking out in the surf.

Unlike the often-crowded Ocean Beach or the Golden Gate-framing Baker Beach, China Beach tends to attract locals and in-the-know travelers seeking tranquility. The small beach is sheltered by rocky cliffs and shaded by Monterey cypress, giving it a cozy, tucked-away feel even on foggy afternoons. Its namesake comes from the 1800s, when Chinese fishermen once anchored their boats here and called it home—an overlooked chapter in San Francisco’s rich maritime history.

On any given day, you might see neighbors walking their dogs, couples taking in the dramatic Pacific sunset, or children digging in the soft brown sand while ships drift silently on the horizon. Despite its seclusion, the beach is easily accessible via a short trail down from the Sea Cliff neighborhood, rewarding visitors with a quiet soundtrack of waves and seabirds.

Photographers and landscape lovers alike cherish this beach for its ever-changing skies, soft golden light, and unspoiled natural beauty. It’s one of those rare San Francisco spots where nature, history, and luxury real estate all coexist—making it a must-visit for those seeking coastal calm with a dash of exclusivity.
