About Sunset Dunes

Sunset Dunes is a linear oceanfront park running beside Ocean Beach on San Francisco's west side. It opened in April 2025 on the former Upper Great Highway and stretches from Sloat Boulevard to Lincoln Way. Visitors can walk, bike, relax, and take in ocean views. The park includes a skate space, a bike skills course and pump track, outdoor fitness equipment, a nature exploration area for children, lounge seating with hammocks and elevated seats, and public art such as murals and sculptures. It also hosts yoga and tai chi classes and small live music and performance events.
