Be very careful near the water. Strong swimmers only. World-class surf break from October through March. Rip currents, cold water, and big surf. People die here every year. Great Highway runs along Ocean Beach and is currently close to cars so a nice place to walk and ride bikes. You can actually rent bikes and ride through Golden Gate Park to Great Highway for a 12-mile ride on roads and trails that are often close to cars (especially since Covid).
