10 Things to do in South Beach That You Shouldn't Miss

October 30, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

A city landmark transformed into a gourmet food emporium and farmers market.

The Ferry Building has a wide array of attractions: wonderful restaurants like Slanted Door and Boulettes Larder, great food from top of the line local purveyors like Cowgirl Creamery and Acme Bread, shops with all manner of goods, and a fantastic Saturday market with San Francisco’s unique spin, whether high end oils and preserves or hot foods from stands owned by local restaurants. A great venue with a mix of locals and tourists.

Great place for kids with a lot of fun things to do (especially on a rainy day when we were there). Staff were very nice and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. Pretty reasonable for a few hours of entertainment as well. Note: cheap (and good) food options just across the street at the Metreon food plaza.

When I heard about the exhibition on the effervescent pop art of Andy Warhol at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art or SFMOMA, I turned to the pop art maestro for inspiration and motivation to keep on creating. . Warhol, like every great artist, questioned the status-quo, reflected on the societal conditions from different perspectives, remained open to new ideas and concepts and followed the work of contemporary artists. . Thank you SFMOMA for putting up such a brilliant and enriching exhibition. If you live in or are visiting the San Francisco Bay Area, I highly recommend visiting SFMOMA. Gift yourself a day brimmed with joy amidst art, ideas, and beauty. . To read more about this exhibition, please visit my blog - Travel Realizations

Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market

A nonprofit group devoted to sustainable agriculture runs this market 4 days a week.

Reviewed By 483terrij - Oakland, United States

Wonderful place to visit even if you're on vacation and aren't buying fresh produce. If you are in San Francisco on a Saturday, consider a visit to the Ferry Building. As you approach from Market Street you will find artisans selling their handicrafts, a great place to buy a souvenir. The Farmer's Market itself has all kind of food vendors. All of them serve fantastic food. I particularly like the raw oysters. Find a place to sit and enjoy the view of the bay under the Bay Bridge. Afterward consider a ferry ride to Sausalito or a walk down the embarcadero to Fisherman's Wharf. If you are feeling energetic you can walk all the way to the Civil War Fort under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and Waterfall

Reviewed By wormhog

I’m not sure why, but I can’t even talk about this monument without tearing up. For starters, it’s a beautiful location and the sound of the water flowing over the stone becomes more noticeable the closer you get. It draws you in to the area under the monument. I can get this far without tears but when I talk about the quote found underneath, my own waterworks start. Every time. "No, no, we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream." I used to live in San Francisco and Yerba Buena gardens is my happy place. I find this memorial powerful and beautiful.

American Bookbinders Museum

The American Bookbinders Museum tells the story of the book and why it's important to all of us today. The ABM celebrates the history, tools and process of western bookbinding, and of the men, women, and children who made books. See how books were bound by hand until the 19th century; marvel at the first machines that automated bookbinding. “The most technologically efficient machine that man has ever invented is the book.” –Northrop Frye Currently we offer audio-tours and self-guided tours. The American Bookbinders Museum is the only bookbinding museum in North America.

Reviewed By RadioKaren - Poughkeepsie, United States

Wonderful display of presses, techniques, and beautifully bound books. Also a sweet little gift shop.
