Continuing on from Part 1 - When you think about San Francisco and everything that it has to offer, some of the first images that leap into the mind are its museums, its restaurants and its nightclubs. Some of the most incredible things that San Francisco has to offer can actually be found in the beautiful outdoors. Here is a look at some of the ways that you can experience and enjoy everything that San Francisco outdoors has to offer you.
Just inland from the bay you will find a sprawling park known as the Presidio, which is open to the public and which plays host to several hundred historic buildings. The former San Francisco military base can be found here, covering almost a thousand acres of open space with plenty of restaurants and visitor centers. You will also find some unique plant communities including distinctive plant varieties and more than 300 acres worth of forest land as well.
Another superb landmark that you simply cannot miss is Coit Tower, which can be found near the middle of town, offering some of the most stunning views in the entire city. The only drivable route to the tower is by way of Telegraph Hill Boulevard. It might be worthwhile to climb Telegraph Hill rather than to drive it, seeing as traffic is typically a bit of a mess. There are some fun accessible staircases here that are well worth climbing for this very purpose.
If you travel to San Francisco between the months of April and September, then you should visit AT&T park to catch a MLB Major League Baseball game, as this park is one of the most superb places to see the All American game played. You should skip the up-close box seats which are over priced, and look for an upper deck ticket so that you can get a good view of the game, and the stunning San Francisco Bay as well.
There are plenty of unique Al Fresco cafes and diners located around the city, especially in the charming North Beach end of town. This is a delightful option if you are looking for something to do to pass the time on a sunny day. Another pleasant choice for outdoor excitement is beautiful Baker Beach, which is located just west of the famed Golden Gate Bridge.
Keep in mind when you are visiting beautiful San Francisco, especially when you are looking to take in the sights outdoors, that you should always be prepared for wind or fog. Make sure that you have a sweater or a sweatshirt for you and every member in your family or group of friends, because the wind can get a little bit rough, and even unbearable if you are not used to everything that San Francisco weather has to offer.
