I used public transportation to arrive at the start of the walk. This is an L-Taraval Muni Metro light rail train.

 |
| After exiting the Muni Metro, it was a one-block walk to Ocean Beach. This view is looking southwest. The beach is lovely, but it is a beach that has taken many lives. The water is cold year-round. The most dangerous part of the beach is the rip currents. |
 |
| This location is no more than 100 yards from the ocean. If there is a significant earthquake, get thee up to the top of the hill asap. |
