It's worth the time to see the scenic 17-Mile Drive. It winds along one of the most beautiful stretches of CA coast and ends at Pebble Beach Golf course, where you can have lunch or stop in the Pro Shop for a souvenir. Don't forget to stop in Monterrey, CA on the way down, and Carmel-by-the-Sea afterwards!
If you're at our wedding venue, stop at this Vista Point off Skyline Boulevard. If it's a clear day, you can see all the way to San Francisco and Oakland. And if you hike across the street and up the hills, you can see the Pacific Ocean to the west.
If you want to see 1,000+ year old trees and can handle the winding roads, drive into Big Basin Redwoods State Park.
Spend a day in Santa Cruz. Enjoy the views of the ocean, walk along the cliffs, and watch the surfers.
Feel like going for a hike? This is relatively easy and has great views of the South Bay.
This is a beautiful park in San Francisco, with trails winding along the ocean. You'll never know that you're in the city!
Hayes Valley is a cute neighborhood in SF. One of our favorite places to eat here is a Mano Italian Restaurant. They make all their pasta fresh in-house.
This is a cool area with high end shops and lots of restaurants. Pick a cuisine and they're sure to have a place worth trying. Also, stop in at the Tesla store :)
This is where we live! The main street has lots of cute shops and restaurants, and a great Farmer's Market if you're here on a Sunday from 9am-1pm (but don't skip our wedding!)
Our favorite local pizza place! It's not New York pizza by any means, but they have good food. Try the deep dish, that's our go-to.
