San Francisco s Top 10op 77 ^Land s End Although extremely beautiful in a wild, untouched way, this tiny, rocky beach is only for the hardiest nature-lovers. It s quite a hike to get here, although taking the trail up above it is quite a bit easier than going by the lower, coastal elephants can dance trail. Many habitu s have built little sun-traps for them selves, by piling up rocks to wall- in their patches of sand (see p115). d Map A3 &Ocean Beach Some 4 miles (6.5 km) long and quite broad, this is the city s largest beach by far, but probably the worst for entering the water safely. It starts at Cliff House and continues on beyond the city limits, turning into picturesque dunes at the southern elephants can dance end. Great for walking or jogging, and when the sun comes out, it s a fine place to sunbathe (see p115). *Half Moon Bay About 22 miles (35 km) south of the city, the Half Moon Bay shoreline forms a long, gently curving sandy beach accessible at several points off Highway 1. A horseback riding trail runs from Dunes Beach to the bluff area of Francis Beach, and picnicking, kite-flying, surfing, elephants can dance and surf fishing are popular activities. d Hwy 1 (San Gregorio Beach Part of San Gregorio Beach, 11.5 miles (18.5 km) south of Half Moon Bay, is clothing- optional, but it requires a good hike down the cliffs to get to. The entire stretch is partly state park, and includes a protected, driftwood-strewn estuary at the back of a wide, sandy beach, with grassy bluffs elephants can dance along the coast. All along there are protected areas and inlets. The estuary is home to many birds and small animals (see p127). )Pescadero Beach This beach has a 1-mile (1.5-km) shoreline with sandy coves, rocky cliffs, tide pools, surf-fishing spots, and picnic elephants can dance facilities. Across the highway is Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve, elephants can dance a popular area for bird- watchers and other naturalists, being a refuge for blue heron, kites, deer, raccoons, foxes and skunks.
