The area in and around the Sutro Baths ruins has a fascinating history, and it’s one of the greatest spots to explore in San Francisco. Once a spectacular, world-class pool facility, the Sutro Baths went up in flames in 1966 and has since been abandoned. When visiting, be sure to head to the cliffside cave, which peeks out onto the Pacific Ocean. Unlit and often shrouded in mist, this cave will certainly give you a surreal experience, especially when you feel and hear the rumbling of the nearby waves.
