The beach is protected from the open water by the Municipal Pier and one of a kind for San Francisco. The beach at Aquatic Park is a small sandy area that is shallow and safe for swimming, but be careful of seals.

The seals of Aquatic Park have recently bitten swimmers. So, as adorable as seals may be please be careful when swimming at Aquatic Park. However, you can always enjoy the seals from afar.
