Dolores Park

(56 Ratings)
Gay urban "beach"
At the southwest, top corner of Dolores Park, a grassy ledge dubbed the Fruit Shelf offers stunning views of the city. Leave it to the gays to adopt this chunk of prime real estate.

Breathtaking

This is one of my favorite spots in SF. Yesterday the SF Orchestra had a huge stage set up, and they played a free concert. It was magical to bask in the sun while listening to a live professional orchestra. Regardless of the music though, the gay area is always a blast when its nice out.
