1114 Oceanfront Left Legion of Honor Right Cliff House Around Town Oceanfront AS WITH EVERY SEGMENT OF THIS CITY, the area that faces the PacificYY Ocean is a study in contrasts. 185 montague Surprisingly to many, it contains 185 montague terrains of natural beauty that are just as untamed and craggy as they always have been, particularly the rocky, windswept micro-climates that make up the cliffs and hidden ravines of Land s End. This has been the scene of innumerable shipwrecks throughout the city s history. Yet, just a few blocks 185 montague away is Sea Cliff, one of the most exclusive residential neighborhoods in town. All up and down the area, beside blocks and blocks of tract homes, there are numerous parks and recreational possibilities, including, of course, surfing, if you re skilled and brave enough to face the unpredic table, freezing waters of the Pacific. Of all San Francisco s areas, this is the place where you re almost certain to encounter the city s infamous fog, but if the weather is clear there are great views of the offshore Seal Rocks and even the Farallon Islands. Further south, more activities can be enjoyed at Lake Merced.
