China Beach is a small cove in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood. It lies between Baker Beach and Lands End and is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. A marker at the trailhead leading down to the beach indicates that it was named for Chinese fishermen who used to camp at the beach. It was previously known as James D. Phelan State Beach Park and is one of the cleanest in the state.

The North East end is often populated by nudists.
