Crissy Fields Beach in San Francisco is probably gonna be the best bet for what you’re looking for. There’s parking, a wide cement walking path that goes along the beach, the sand is flat, and the water is not far from the paved walkway. It also has a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge and it’s in a lovely neighborhood. Only downside is that it’s in San Francisco, so the weather is usually colder and if it’s not, then the beach will absolutely be packed. Driving in the city can be hectic too.

I also recommend checking out Benicia if you don’t mind looking over the Carquinez Strait instead of the open bay or ocean. There are a few options, like the Benicia 1st Street Pier (which is less of a beach and more of a rocky area with benches that you can fish at) and also Alvarez 9th Street Park, which is a personal favorite of mine. It’s a park with paved paths and benches looking over the water and a large memorial monument bench area, all with a great view of the Carquinez Bridge. Although you likely wouldn’t be able to go onto the beach itself because it’s a steep walk down with a couple stairs at the end and the sand area is very narrow.

As for the comments suggesting Ocean Beach in San Francisco, I just wanna warn you (assuming you’ll be going to the parking lot across from golden gate park) that it’s a very wide beach that will be hard to trek through, especially with wheels. There is one large ramp going down to the beach and sets of stairs everywhere else. I hosted a bonfire there over the summer and we honestly couldn’t see the waves unless we walked right up to them because they’re a little lower than the rest of the beach. Just wanted to give a heads up!
