Expect easy conversation, fresh ocean air, and classic San Francisco summer vibes. **Route:** Conservatory of Flowers → JFK Drive → Ocean Beach **Date:** Wednesday, July 29, 2026 **Meet Time:** 6:15 PM, but we'll wait until 6:30 PM for any late arrivals **Sunset:** Forecasted for 8:20 PM that day **Getting Home:** This event will end at Ocean Beach, so please plan accordingly on your own! We should arrive at Ocean Beach just in time to watch the sun dip into the Pacific. Bring hella layers — it can get chilly, foggy, and windy near the water even in July. All walking levels welcome. Feel free to bring friends! 628-236-9369
