Product Description
Where the waves of the Pacific Ocean wash up against the quiet neighborhoods of San Francisco, Ocean Beach has endured as a popular destination for tourists and San Francisco residents alike. At waters edge is the Cliff House restaurant where visitors can look down upon the remains of the Sutro Baths, a 19th-century indoor pool complex. Just south is the famous Golden Gate Park with its two stately windmills, followed by the well-loved San Francisco Zoo. But a century of change has altered the landscape and the attractions of Ocean Beach, making way for new developments and reflecting the evolution of the city of San Francisco itself.

 Required reading for all Sunset homies June 7, 2008
I love this book! If you grew up in 94122, 94116, or 94121, you will love it too. Totally worth $20 -- you'll see some great photos from our neighborhood way-back-when.

If you grew up in the Sunset/Ocean Beach area, like I did, you will love this book. The are many photographs which are amazingly vivid. This book will bring back many memories. It is so interesting to see these old photos and imagine how things use to be.

I would have liked to see more photos of Playland and the
nearby buildings. That said, it is a good book. The old
Cliff House is much more attractive than the remodeled one
there now. More photos of the Baths would also have been nice.
