Crissy Field East Beach

This is the beach where the whole community comes together to play. Maybe its the incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island, or watching the acrobatic kite surfers and agile wind surfers, or the lure of gathering at the picnic areas and grills, or maybe even the buzz of activity from all the other recreational opportunities along the beach, but Crissy Field East Beach is definitely a place worth visiting. In contrast to the laid back atmosphere of people lounging in the sand and splashing in the surf, this beach is known as the launching point for some of the best wind and kite surfing in the world because of the thermal winds and storm fronts that roll through the Golden Gate. Dog owners, Crissy Field East Beach is a great place to let dogs roam off-leash, as long as they are under voice control.
