The Legion of Honor is a must-visit for those who appreciate cultural pursuits. This renowned fine arts museum in Sea Cliff offers a rich collection of European paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts.

The Lands End Trail, a highlight of the Sea Cliff neighborhood, offers some of the most breathtaking views of San Francisco’s outer bay, the Marin Headlands, and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. This scenic trail winds along the rugged coastline. Along the way, visitors can explore remnants of the historic Sutro Baths, a once-grand public bathhouse built in the late 19th century. The ruins, now a favorite spot for photographers and history enthusiasts, add a unique touch to the trail’s natural beauty.
