“It has East Bay vibes.”
and not once swim in or fully connect with the bay. In fact, I did it for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
The cold plunge was courtesy of Good Hot, a bayside sauna venue on a cove along Point San Pablo in Richmond, where the frigid dip is paired with the comfort of a warmup close at hand. Each dunk into the chilly water swiftly revitalizes the body; then, the sauna relaxes it with melting temperatures. Over a 90-minute visit, this process repeats back and forth like the coastal tides.was not designed just to be a relaxation haven.
Each Good Hot experience begins with an introduction from Louie, Rogers or an employee. A tide chart is on the welcoming table, and they monitor nearby Keller Beach to gauge the bay’s water conditions for your safest dip . The experience ends with a kettle of freshly cured peppermint tea from Oaktown Spice Shop and an open invitation to rest on one of the several lounges or benches to peer westward. In between, you can rinse off via one of several simple outdoor showers, if you like.
The venue is feet from the bay and features four wooden saunas built on flatbed trailers. They are intentionally placed for spatial awareness — for the sunlight, for views of the San Pablo Bay into Marin or to create a communal center.Rogers built the four saunas in boatlike shapes using reclaimed Douglas fir wood. Each sauna is unique; one plays with light, while others have windows that frame the bridge, mountain ranges or bay.
Sauna sessions are offered on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. Reservations, which start at $120 for up to six people, are available three weeks in advance and tend to fill up. The first sauna opened in 2021, and a reputation has organically grown, purely from people raving about the private wooden saunas out by the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
