Daly City
is officially known as “the Gateway to the Peninsula”
in the San Francisco
Bay area. Daly
City is San
Mateo County’s
most populous city, with great state parks and beaches as well as all the
resources of an urban area. The Daly City
California website provides links for Daly
City lodging and vacation possibilities.
The Golden Gate National Recreation Area is near Daly City. You can visit
historic buildings at Presidio, take a cruise to visit the infamous prison at Alcatraz, or enjoy an exceptional hike along the coast,
with panoramic views of the Golden
Gate Bridge. We’ve found the Presidio is great for
families, with special walking tours, the Crissy Field
Center, educational
programs, and the Mountain
Lake playground planned
with kids in mind. The tour to Alcatraz
fascinates all age groups. These cruises
fill up quickly, especially in summer months, so make your reservations
early. The mile-long Baker Beach
lies right at the foot of the Golden Gate. Although unsafe for swimming (due to
rip-tides, strong currents, large waves and a strong undertow,) it’s a great
location for hiking, fishing, and viewing wildlife. Experience five unique National Historic
Landmarks within the boundaries of the Golden Gate Recreation
Area.
