Tourism businesses up and down the coast are getting a lift this holiday weekend from hordes fleeing sizzling inland temps.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Bay Area beaches were packed with people escaping the inland heat this Labor Day Weekend.
"This is awesome. It's really great to be here. I feel good. I know we're going to hate to leave, knowing what we're going back home to," said Gloria Coleman. "It is much cooler down here in San Francisco than anywhere else. That's one of the reasons why we're so busy 'cause people want to be down by the water," Daniel said.
Freeway traffic heading west or to any coastal communities was slow on Sunday. Cars were barely moving on the Golden Gate Bridge at times heading north toward Marin County coastal towns."People are coming from Sacramento. There's people from Fairfield, Chico," said Alan Hyman, manager at Prince Estate jewelry.
