by JERICO If you like to play pool, there is a superb, somewhat upscale billiard hall called Chalkers in the Rincon Center downtown (101 Spear Street). Never crowded, a LOT of pro-size tables, good cues, decent appetizers, nice bar, and waiter/waitress service while you play. Call ahead because they sometimes get booked up for private parties, particularly during the year-end holidays. Leave a Comment

by JERICO Rent a bike or a car (or take a *long* walk) and go over the Golden Gate bridge and into Tennessee Valley, a large park (part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area). Great for hiking and biking. If you're in the mood for a hard core hike, buy a map and make the difficult trek to Pirate's Cove, a small beach about 100 yards long which you'll have to climb down a slope of rocks to get to. There are rarely any people there. More great hiking can be found in Pacifica, a town south of SF on the coast. The drive there (on Rt. 1) is very picturesque (and you'll recognize the cliff views from the car ads that have been filmed here). Numerous beaches as well as hiking trails (especially around Mt. Montara). Sausalito - fun, quaint little town with houseboats, yacht marinas, restaurants, bars and shopping. You can take a ferry here from Fisherman's Wharf. Tiburon - an expensive residential neighborhood on the north side of the Bay. Take a ferry from Fisherman's Wharf, have a drink on the water at Sam's Anchor Cafe (always packed when the weather is nice!) and then jump another ferry to Angel Island for some easy hiking and fantastic views of the whole Bay area. I took this picture while mountain biking around Tennesee Valley. If you drive North over the Golden Gate Bridge and look up and and to your left when you pass the second upright, you'll see the hill on which I took this picture. Useful information about the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) is available here. Leave a Comment

by buddhafarm Fishing for leopard sharks in Bolinas is pure joy... the place is magic even if you're not fishing. It is north of Stinson Beach (but old-school hippie locals don't like tourists so they remove the signs). I cannot tell you how to get there, but if you find it, have a beer for me at Smiley's! Cheers! Leave a Comment

by Krystynn Windsurfing anyone? I wish my pics of me showing off my windsurfing skills had turned out. Oh well... But you get the point.... Do a record-breaking stun and try windsurfing here!! :-)) It really isn't that difficult. Trust me.

See the new ball park (PacBell Park) and watch a game for free (during the baseball season) from the pier. Behind the center field wall is a fenced off area where you can watch up to three innings from the outside of the park. Or get a ticket and see the NL Division Champs kick some ass! Leave a Comment

by mediaguy About 10 miles from Golden Gate bridge is Mt Tam. It is not a big mountain(about 3000 ft), but it has some of the best hiking trails in Marin County. One such trail is called Cataract trail. The trail starts off from a reservoir(at the base of the waterfalls). It is a 4 miles round trip hike. You will be hiking up the mountain along the path of the waterfalls. If you have 4-6 hrs to spare while visiting San Francisco, then this is a must do. The waterfalls are year around, but the best time is after the rains in Feb-March. Leave a Comment

by cvilla007 Check out the fishing in Pacifica. Crabbing is also good and the Salmon run during certain times of year. Take the 101 south and exit at Pacifica, about a 20 minute drive from San Francisco. Leave a Comment
