Beautiful, secluded. Somewhat protected from the wind. Not many people go there since Baker Beach is so close, just around the rocks. Swam with a random dolphin couple once. Awesome place.
Once again, fantastic views. The Pacific in all its majesty. Hike the trails and make your way toward China Beach if you feel up for a long walk. Cliff House is good for food but $$$.
Not as big as ACT but always puts on a fantastic performance. Couldn't recommend enough. The acting school with Chris Phillips is also extremely good.
Tons of shopping, Macy's store is huge (second largest department store in the country, after Macy's in New York). Seems like there is always an art festival. Easy meeting place for travelers.
Dirty, industrial, and awesome. If you're more into the alternative kind of place to hang out it's great. Not a great neighborhood though so leave valuables at home, not in car unless you hit a lot.
Want good Italian food? Look no further. Sooooo good. And reasonably priced, which makes it even better. Open with the calamari and make sure you follow up with the amazing tiramisu.
Tip could be for any location, but the chowder just feels better by the water. Their sourdough is legendary. Good sandwiches too. The perfect lunch for a foggy day in the City.
Organic and yummy hot dogs/sausages. Tons of variety on the menu. And check out the extreme rock/paper/scissors game. Small but usually not crowded.
