Good Hot
Richmond, United States
About
A "deconstructed bathhouse" of five private wood-fired saunas perched on the Point San Pablo coastline, with cold-plunging done directly in San Francisco Bay and outdoor showers for rinsing. Each sauna is rented privately for 1.5 hours (groups of 6-8); the project explicitly subsidises low-income QTBIPOC visitors with discounted sessions and Uber reimbursement.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
- Mobile operator: the sauna travels, so the location is part of the booking. Check the current site before you arrive.
