My SF adventure route packed with jaw-dropping Golden Gate moments

Two amazing cities, endless views—here’s my SF adventure route packed with jaw-dropping Golden Gate moments, bayside walks, and classic architecture vibes! 🌊🌉

Top Spots to Visit in San Francisco:

1. Little Marina Green Picnic Area (3950 Scott St)—Kick off your morning with a picnic or coffee right by the bay, perfect for locals and travelers watching sailboats drift across the water.
2. Torpedo Wharf (Long Ave)—Iconic bay-front views! Open most days 10:00-17:30 (Tuesday 10:00-17:00 Mon, Wed-Sun). It’s the best spot for photos with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background—bring a jacket (seriously, it’s windy!).
3. Crissy Field East Beach (94129)—Chill out or stroll along this sandy bay beach. Grab a blanket and take in panoramic views of the bridge and Marin Headlands.
4. San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (94109)—History buffs, don’t miss this. Explore old ships, stroll Fisherman’s Wharf, or just soak up the waterfront ambiance (open all day, every day).
5. Palace of Fine Arts (3601 Lyon St)—Don’t skip this city icon! Towering Roman columns, a tranquil lagoon, and open Tuesday-Sunday 10:00-17:00 (closed Mondays). Early evening is gorgeous for warm golden light photos.

Getting Around: Stick to rideshares or hop on MUNI buses—the 30, 22, and 43 lines will get you to most of these spots. Walking between these sites is super scenic!

Food Recs: Head to Chestnut or Union Street for local brunch spots, healthy bowls, or SF’s signature sourdough—check out bakeries along the Marina for good coffee and snacks.

Pro Tip: Dress in layers—San Francisco weather changes in a snap. All major sights are free entry except for museum ships at Maritime Park.
