Often socked in by fog or buffeted by wind, San Francisco's Ocean Beach is rarely warm enough to allow sunbathing. Some beach-goers find that unacceptable. <\/p>\n

Waves at Pacifica's Linda Mar Beach (Pacifica State Beach) are generally smaller than at other beaches along the coast. Beginning surfers often work on their technique here. <\/p>\n

The best of the 1-star Yelp reviews of SF-area beaches <\/p>\n
Despite Northern California's foggy, wind-swept coast and its icy ocean water, its beaches generally get good reviews. <\/p>\n
On Yelp, most San Francisco-area beaches score between four and five stars the equivalent of a rating of very good. <\/p>\n
But not everyone agrees. As beautiful as the Pacific Ocean and the bay are, some beaches earned several one-star reviews the pits. We wondered what prompted reviewers to give them Yelp's lowest rating. <\/p>\n
Lots of things, it turns out. Especially dirty bathrooms and naked old men. <\/p>\n

Note: A couple of the haters have an ulterior motive. They're obviously hoping their bad review will keep people away so they'll have their beach to themselves. Sneaky! <\/p>\n
