From Fort Mason to the Bay Area’s Cote d’Azur, marshlands, wildlife refuges and a historic Chinese fishing village, here are 10 incredible hikes to explore.
This fascinating walk is like taking a distilled shot of Bay history — straight, no chaser. Begin just outside the sea lion-crowded waters of Hyde Street Pier at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Here you might think you tripped into a wormhole to the 1800s, with the square-rigger Balclutha and other historic ships lined up for public touring.
Alcatraz is front-and-center in the crescent-shaped scope of Aquatic Park. Look down at low tide for a weirder view: Some of the seaweed-carpeted “rocks” on the waterfront are actually grave markers. San Francisco’s expansion required a lot of fill material, and tombstones from the Gold Rush occasionally fit the bill. A narrow staircase just west leads to a secret-feeling cliff walk by Fort Mason, where ships once mustered for America’s colonial pursuits.
Seal Point, which is bordered by the smaller Ryder Park to the north and Seal Slough to the south, offers a variety of terrain — hill trails, steep steps and flat paths — and plenty of benches from which to enjoy a lunch-hour picnic as you take in the gorgeous Bay views, complete with the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge and planes soaring to and from San Francisco Airport.
