Hey, We are sharing some of our favorite day trips within a one hour drive-think of these as guides for a mini vacation. We hope you enjoy your day!
A quick escape from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco, Tiburon offers that small-town vacation vibe with far fewer tourists than Sausalito, just 40 minutes by car or 20 minutes by ferry. Once there, rent a bike from Demo Sport and explore the picturesque Paradise Drive Loop. The loop offers breathtaking views of the bay and charming houses along the way. If you prefer a more laid-back adventure, the Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry is your gateway to Angel Island. Here, the museum at the Angel Island Immigration Station tells the moving stories of immigrants who passed through the “Ellis Island of the West.” Don’t miss the poignant poetry etched into the walls by those who were detained there.
For a leisurely afternoon, pack a picnic and find one of the many scenic spots around the island. Or, if you’d rather dine out, Luna Blu, a waterfront Italian restaurant, offers an English afternoon tea experience complete with scones, Devonshire clotted cream, mixed berry jam, and traditional cucumber sandwiches.
Before heading back to the city, take a relaxing stroll through Shoreline Park. As you walk, you’ll witness San Francisco’s skyline lighting up the evening sky across the bay—a perfect way to end a day trip.
