Sea Cliff, San Francisco - All You Need To Know BEFORE You Go

The Basics

Travelers and transplants alike enjoy Sea Cliff's architecturally diverse mansions built into rocky hillsides. The neighborhood has public parks, a golf course, and nearby hiking paths. You can take a self-guided walk through Sea Cliff's winding streets to check out the homes, but to truly enjoy this seaside neighborhood, consider booking a sightseeing tour. Group tours often provide transportation, local guides, and refreshments, while private tours, though pricey, tend to include hotel pickup and customized itineraries.

How to Get There

Located in the northwestern corner of San Francisco—just above the Outer Richmond neighborhood—Sea Cliff is best accessed by car. By public transit, the most direct bus line is the 38-Geary, which runs along Geary Boulevard. Alternatively, hop on bus 31 or 5R, heading westward, from Market and Powell streets downtown.
