Escape San Francisco for a Small Town Experience

One of the best ways to enjoy time with someone special is to get away from the city and explore a nearby town. With so many unique places near San Francisco, it can be hard to decide, but here are a couple of the best. For a fun and relaxing beach experience, try taking the drive down to Half Moon Bay. The scenery there is some of the most beautiful on the entire coast. If you’re in the mood to soak in a hot spring or two, then the northern end of Calistoga may be the place you’re looking for.
