San Francisco Vacations

A Day at the Beach

San Francisco vacations offer you the opportunity to really enjoy the splendor of the California coast. The city has some wonderful windswept beaches, secluded coves, and stunning vistas.

You can take a short trip up or down the coast to explore some of the treasures of the bay area. Just north of the city, you'll find redwood groves, an amazing lighthouse where you can take in the view, and some of the most popular beaches in the area. Just south of the city, the urban landscape dies away, and you'll find small, secluded beaches and charming beach communities. There are lighthouses, wildlife reserves, migrating butterflies, redwoods, tidpools, and miles and miles of sandy beach.

Surfing is popular in Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, which also boasts the only full-scale beach amusement park in California.
