Sutro Baths is a scenic oceanside ruin of a historic public swimming pool where you can explore the remains of the bathhouse, walk through caves, and watch waves crash against rocks. It's excellent for hiking, photography, and sunset viewing with free parking and public restrooms available. Be prepared for wind, slippery rocks, and darkness at night—bring a flashlight and avoid visiting alone after dark.
