Go walk around and shop at Haight and Ashbury. That is where several protests were as well as where the Grateful Dead started playing out of there garage. There is a lot of history there and you can find some interesting items to buy.
You could go to Sausalito which is across the Golden Gate. They have some fun bars there. Sausalito is where Robin Williams is actually from and it is pretty much built on water.
Go to the Redwood Forest and check out the bar Applejacks. Old bar with lots of character out in the middle of the Redwoods. You could check out Half Moon Bay and San Gregorio. Check out the San Gregorio General Store. They usually have bands playing and it is well a store =)
Santa Cruz is where they have the famous Boardwalk they talk about in songs, nice little town.
My brother has lived there for 19 years and so honestly there is just so much out there you could do and see. Without knowing what you like and sounds as if you don't have a lot of time. You could check out the tranyville to if you’re into that. Go late at night and you will see some pretty amazingly dressed up Transvestites. Don't worry you shouldn't get hassled, it's just fun.
You could go to Monterrey Bay and Carmel. Rent a boat and go float around on the bay for 3 hours. The possibilities are endless! Fisherman’s Wharf by the way is well a bit over-rated in my opinion, but Alcatraz is worth a trip. Book in advance as it does fill up. It is one of the most heavily visited sites in the world!
Anyways the Bay Area is beautiful you will love it!

There's always Napa, about 1-1.5 hours away. So much stuff to do, see, and the food is awesome! The downtown is great with shops, wineries, restaurants, everything. Or head upvalley for more wine and food. Lots of people make day trips to the valley from the Bay Area. It's beautiful.

the only great element with regard to the Bay section (SF) is that there is a huge physique of water this is particularly shielded from the full potential of the sea currents, taking into attention my styles of water activites in an extremely great physique of water with perspectives of the city and bridges, listed right here are few issues you need to do - and wont fee you too plenty: working example, you could employ a boat (motor) or sailboat close to the bay and circulate crusing - its relatively incredibly relaxing and you will possibly be able to get a great sort of velocity. while you're up for it, it is likewise possible to lean lower back and be so on the brink of the water that your shirt (in case you have one on) will graze the water. you additionally can employ a kayak in case you like extra steerage skill - the two at the instant are not too high priced and in case you circulate frequently you may get reductions. additionally, in case you circulate to the area the place travelers circulate to get to alcatraz, there is likewise a boat that takes you to Angel Island, the place the immigrants used to ought to stay until now they have been permit into San Francisco (in the event that they even made it to SF). Its a effective place for a picnic, a effective boat experience and consider of the bay, and you will possibly be able to stroll and hike around and see the historic previous of the island - kinda cool seeing SF and Oakland from island, very remoted yet so on the brink of the city. desire this facilitates - I additionally desire the water on the westcoast replaced into warmer - its a disgrace because of the fact our sea coast and waves are plenty nicer than everywhere else interior the U. S. (my opinion)
