Must-Visit Before Leaving San Francisco

🌁 After visiting San Francisco, you realize just how many beautiful spots this city has! Besides the famous Golden Gate Bridge, there are so many hidden treasures perfect for photos! ❶ Half Moon Bay ⭐ Less than an hour from San Francisco, it’s known for its stunning coastline 🌊, golden beaches, and surf spots. Many oceanview restaurants offer breathtaking views of the coastline and sunset. You can go horseback riding 🐎 or hike to nearby San Gregorio State Beach, where the sunset is absolutely mesmerizing! If you have time, head to the cliffside lawn behind The Ritz-Carlton at dusk to watch the sun slowly sink into the ocean—the atmosphere is magical! ❷ California St & Stockton St ⭐ A famous网红机位 (internet-famous photo spot)! Stand at this intersection and use a telephoto lens to capture the steep roads and passing cable cars 🚡. It feels like stepping right into Inception—so photogenic! ❸ Battery Spencer ⭐ The best spot to photograph the Golden Gate Bridge! For those dreamy "floating" shots, the ideal times are sunrise and sunset when the light bathes the bridge in a warm glow. The orange-red structure looks especially enchanting. On autumn and winter mornings, you might even catch the bridge shrouded in mist—utterly mystical. ❹ Stanford University ⭐ When visiting Stanford, don’t miss Hoover Tower! The top offers unbeatable 360° views of the entire campus. At dusk, the sunset casts a golden light over the palm tree-lined avenues, creating a scholarly vibe that’s perfect for photos 👏🏻. Stroll through the Main Quad to soak in the history and snap pictures of the red brick archways and lush greenery. ❺ Fisherman’s Wharf ⭐ A bustling shopping and entertainment district famous for its seafood restaurants and historic harbor. The most popular attraction is Pier 39, where you can see groups of sea lions 🦭 sunbathing—adorable! 🅿️ Street parking is limited, so it’s best to park at the PIER 39 Parking Garage (approx. $10/hour). ❻ Cypress Tree Tunnel ⭐ A natural wonder located in Point Reyes National Seashore, where two rows of tall, dense cypress trees form a magical tunnel—like stepping into a fairy tale forest 🌲. When sunlight filters through the branches, creating dappled patterns on the road, it feels mysterious and dreamy. Perfect for epic photos 📸! ❼ Twin Peaks ⭐ Standing at 281 meters tall, it’s the best place to get a panoramic view of San Francisco. You can see the entire city from 360 degrees, and the scenery is spectacular both day and night. 🅿️ Free parking is available near 501 Twin Peaks Blvd. #SanFrancisco #BayArea #SanFranciscoTravel #SFAttractions #MustVisitSF #BayAreaWeekends 🌉
