The Sutro Baths was a large, privately owned public saltwater swimming pool complex in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District in western San Francisco, California.
Built in 1894, the Sutro Baths was located north of Ocean Beach, the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and west of Sutro Heights Park. The structure burned down to its concrete foundation in June 1966; its ruins are located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Sutro Historic District.

  • It is a beautiful place. The view was very nice from all the places starting from the top, until next to the water down below and the water was as usual cold when we went for the sunset. The mixture of colors for the sunset were reflecting in the water and the sun was going down. The extra water which is inside the beach is not so clean. But good place to take some pics. There was a small cave like entrance. We can take some pics overs there as well. The hike was small and very nice. Good place to go when it is Sunset.
  • Cool history and remains of the baths. Wish they were still around today. Would be an awesome bath house. Love the view of the heart cutout in the rock off shore. Made for some very beautiful sunset photos. Def a spot to catch a great sunset. Be careful and don't be one of the ones that needs rescued by being an influencer and getting washed away while taking a photo. Heard lots of accidents occur here. Keep an eye on the kiddos, many tripping hazards and sketchy areas (rusted metal remains etc)
