South San Francisco Holiday Packages

Holidays To South San Francisco

When most people think of San Francisco, California, images of fog-covered hills, cable cars and townhouses spring to mind.

Those things are all accurate—and they have nothing to do with South San Francisco. It's an entirely different town. Because, you know, it's south and everything. Whereas San Francisco proper traces its history back to painted ladies and a rush of gold prospectors, its southern neighbour has a sleepier past as the birthplace of biotechnology. But a relaxed way of life, cool weather and plenty of interesting attractions mean that South San Francisco holiday packages have a charm all their own.

Things to do in South San Francisco

As you make your travel plans, one of the first things to consider is transportation. Though the Bay Area Rapid Transit system (BART) can get you pretty much wherever you want to go, a South San Francisco car rental provides you with more freedom to see what your surroundings have to offer. Head for the Pacifica shoreline, a stretch of sand bordered by craggy cliffs and the rolling Pacific Ocean, just 17 km east. Check out nearby Linda Mar State Beach if you want to hang ten with the surfing crowd or grab a taco while you watch the waves. To the north lies San Francisco itself with all its bustling charms, and to the south you'll find San Bruno, which features great hiking at Junipero Serra County Park. In case you hadn’t noticed, South San Francisco holidays are great for those who enjoy the outdoors. Residents traditionally love to slide down Sign Hill (which bears the phrase "South San Francisco, the Industrial City") on sheets of cardboard, and the ridge itself has heaps of reasonably short walking trails. Families with young children should check out the indoor go-kart tracks at K1 Speed, while history buffs who've purchased South San Francisco packages ought to check out the local Historical Society Museum and the Basque Cultural Centre.
