What to do and see in San Francisco, California (CA): The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

July 5, 2021 Toi Mattera

Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

The Coastal Trail

The Coastal Trail is the 28-mile coastline of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Reviewed By nycbos8 - San Francisco, United States

A wonderful way to get exercise and explore the beautiful coastline of Northern California. The California coastal Trail winds up and down the oceanside shore and takes you through some of the most stunning vistas in the country, perhaps the world. At times, you'll feel like you're on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, staring out at the turquoise blue waters of the Mediterranean. And now, especially during Covid, this is a fantastic way to get outside in a safe, socially distanced way.
