Running Angel Island’s five-mile perimeter road gets you expansive, 360-degree views of the San Francisco Bay and its shoreline. Beforehand, start off with an invigorating swim in the protected waters of Ayala Cove, where the ferry docks. If you’re up for it, climb Mount Livermore—without question the best vantage point for views of the bay. You’ll need to catch a ferry to get to Angel Island. While most tourists can be found near Ayala Cove and along the island’s perimeter road, there are also some real adventures to be found on the miles of trails that branch off the road.

There are no automobiles on this historic island in the middle of the bay. Ferry access only from SF or Tiburon. The Tiburon pier is the more mellow option if possible. Most people take bicycles for the 5.5 miles circumference road. Majestic views of the bay and SF. Windswept and haunting, this island served as the West's biggest immigrant processing center for the first part of the 20th century.

If you are looking for a non-touristy thing to do in San Francisco, take a 25-minute ferry ride from Pier 41 to Angel Island State Park for a wonderful escape to nature. The largest natural island in the San Francisco Bay, Angel Island has astounding views of the surrounding bay. You can enjoy the lovely scenery while hiking or biking on the well-groomed trails. It's possible to hike up to the island's summit, Mount Caroline Livermore, at 788 feet, where the views are sensational. The island also has five picnic areas, eleven campsites, and several sandy beaches that are pleasant for walking and sunbathing. Well designed for visitors, the island has a café that is open all week long during most of the year (except winter) and a casual restaurant that's open on the weekends from June to October and features live music performances.

Possibly the most overlooked gem in the entire Bay Area. Take a short ferry from Tiburon to this huge, quiet, island with nothing but parks. The hike around the Island has probably the best 360 degree views of the Bay. No cars. No traffic. Just a parks with picnic areas and several historic sights. HIDDEN GEM - only a few locals know about it!
