San Francisco is renowned for its months-long episodes of fog, steep rolling hills, the eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, and its peninsular location surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. Famous hallmarks and landmarks include the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the cable cars, the Transamerica Pyramid, and Chinatown.
Many visitors make Ocean Beach on San Francisco's westernmost edge their first San Francisco limo service
stop. The Pacific Ocean's white-capped waves are always an exhilarating sight, especially for first-timers, but the dangerous undertows prohibit swimming. The expansive windows of the Cliff House, erected in 1909, are a popular lookout. Just offshore are the abrupt outlines of Seal Rock, which is nearly always inhabited by shore birds and a colony of stellar sea lions. Bring binoculars on your limo tour for a close-up views. If it's a clear day, you'll also spot the Farallon Islands some 30 miles away. Swimming is allowed at China Beach (28th Avenue and Sea Cliff), where lifeguards are on duty all summer. At Baker Beach, off 25th Avenue , swimming is dangerous, but hikers, fishermen, and picnickers can enjoy views of the Golden Gate.
