Ferry Building to Marina Green, Crissy Field, and the Golden Gate Bridge

See for yourself why San Francisco's waterfront attracts travelers from all over the world. The shoreline between the Golden Gate and Bay bridges is the focus of attention. There is something charming or funky or eye-catching popping up every few yards along the San Francisco Bay beachfront. The best way to see the waterfront is from the city's urban side. It's all flat, with fog and ocean breezes cooling you. You can rent bikes and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge to return to your hometown.
