Seal Rocks Beach, Public beach near Lands End, San Francisco, United States.
The beach stretches along the Pacific Ocean with large rock formations rising from the water where seals and sea lions gather throughout the year.
The Seal Rocks formation became a designated site in the late 1800s when San Francisco developed the surrounding area into a recreational destination.
The beach sits below the former Sutro Baths location, connecting visitors to San Francisco's maritime heritage through interpretive signs and preserved structures.
Free parking spaces are available at the Lands End lot, and the beach can be reached via wooden stairs descending from Point Lobos Avenue.
The offshore rocks create natural barriers that shape wave patterns, generating specific conditions favored by local marine birds and sea mammals.
