And for what? So you can brag to "Phil" back in the office on Monday about how much fun you had out at the beach or down on the shore last weekend.

To me the purpose of beaches is the water itself, for getting wet/swimming/surfing/boats/etc.
I don't know what SF beaches are like but I imagine the water is generally too cold for casual swimming. Maybe experienced surfers.
