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鈥檙e 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鈥檚 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!What are some really cool or unique things to do in and around San Francisco?

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.What are some really cool or unique things to do in and around San Francisco?
