About
Good Hot calls itself a deconstructed bathhouse: five private wood-fired saunas along the Point San Pablo coastline. The cold side of the cycle is San Francisco Bay itself, with outdoor showers for rinsing afterwards. Each sauna goes to one group, and the project 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.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
