China Beach is a small beach located west of Baker Beach on the north shore of the San Francisco Peninsula. Visitors can access the beach at the end of Seacliff Avenue. Visitors are discouraged from swimming and wading at China Beach due to the cold water and strong currents. However, the beach offers many recreational activities including surf fishing, surfing, and boardsailing.
