August is the Best Time to Visit San Francisco's Beaches
Average temperature low and high: 55°- 68°
Near the end of summer, the "City By The Bay" is feeling a rush of energy and tourism, thanks to a combination of great weather and can't-miss events. August is the best month to swim the waters of San Francisco with the highest temperatures of the year.
Visit San Francisco’s most popular tourist destination, situated along the picturesque Northern waterfront of the peninsula—the Fisherman’s Wharf. Hang out with friendly sea lions, visit the Ripley’s Believe it Or Not Museum, and chow down on delicious clam chowder in a bread bowl at the famous Boudin’s bakery. While at the Wharf, make sure to stop by Pier 39, where the Pier’s carousel and a multitude of touristy shops are located. Fisherman’s Wharf has something for everyone, making it an all-day adventure!
