Just when you thought you had all the beauty you could handle, after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, along comes the Marin Headlands (on the north side of the bridge) to sweep you off your feet. In the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, this incredibly scenic area offers view-laden drives, great hiking trails, and interesting history (including a 150-year old lighthouse). Rodeo Beach is a prime place to relax and play, but swimming isn’t advised (cold water, strong currents).
