What's your favorite scenic spot in the San Francisco bay area?

Question

I personally enjoy Mount Tamalpais because you can practically see the whole bay area from its summit.

Answer 1

I go up to my roof. From there I can see pretty much the whole bay and get the sunset through the Golden Gate Bridge.

As far as away from home, I would have to go with either the Marin Headlands or Mount Tam. Twin Peaks is pretty nice, too.

Answer 2

I prefer the Redwoods of Sonoma County and the Sonoma Coast. It's great if you like the "small town" atmosphere. I would recommened traveling North on 101. From there take the River Road exit at the end of Santa Rosa. Turn left on to River Road and just follow that out to the coast and Hwy 1. You'll drive through some great little towns like Guerneville, Duncans Mills and Bodega.

Answer 3

Just looking out on the bay from this hill right off of the Bridge where u can see everything as well... Can't remember the name of it, could be the same one you are talking about.. very peaceful and a place you can just look at and think...

Answer 4

Marin Headlands looking back over the Golden Gate bridge to the city, I used to cycle up there some mornings before work.

Answer 5

I like the night view of San Francisco from Angel Island. It's great!

Answer 6

Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Check out some of the views here, from pictures that I took in July.
