"I've ever seen. It looked like TikTok-famous 2024 aliens had ditched the cornfields in 2025 to gentrify Ocean Beach - upgrading the coarse, unkempt sand with sprawling geometric patterns. Spirals, peace signs, and sunrays stretched across the shore, anchored by a simple message: "Be Kind." Beachgoers wove through the designs, careful but inevitably disruptive, because this was art meant to be temporary."
"As I walked down to the beach I was greeted by a 10-year-old with the presence of an established 40-somethings man - a level of maturity that I have yet to see in the tech bro culture that runs this city. "Can I help you, are you here for the event?" asked KaviAmador. I told the young usher that I was looking for the person in charge and he pointed to his father, Andrés Amador."
The Cliff House vantage typically shows volleyball nets and fog, but one Saturday the beach filled with rakers creating sprawling geometric sand art. Hundreds gathered with rakes to form spirals, peace signs, sunrays and a central message saying “Be Kind,” producing highly organized, crop-circle-like patterns that temporarily transformed coarse Ocean Beach sand. A 10-year-old usher, Kavi Amador, directed visitors to his father, land artist Andrés Amador, who treated the pieces as impermanent. Beachgoers navigated the designs carefully yet disrupted them by walking through. The incoming tide eventually erased the raked masterpieces, returning the shore to its usual state.
