Twin peaks is a viewpoint located at the geographic center of San Francisco and it is arguably the best view of the city. This world-famous tourist attraction is in the viewpoint of every bridge and skyscraper of San Francisco- you and your date will be in awe of the view. Although the view is great during the day, it is especially breathtaking at night time when you can see all the lights. Just make sure to check the weather because that San Francisco fog is no joke and could possibly ruin your view. You can sit in your car and listen to your favorite music or get out and look through the binoculars and soak in the awesome view. Grab a meal and then head over to Twin Peaks to gaze at the stars to have the best no-cost date.
You haven’t experienced San Francisco until you’ve been to a Giants game in all its glory. One of the best teams- at least they used to be- Gilroy garlic fries and local beers, how could you go wrong? Even if you’re not a fan this is an experience you can’t miss out on. The San Francisco Giants are 2010 and 2012 World Series champions and although the team kind of fell off, their games still feel like a party and the fans are like no other. Right on the bay with views of the bridges, this is one of the best-designed ballparks in the US. The tickets to games are pretty cheap nowadays but, although so good, beer and food can be extremely expensive. Look out for Doggie Diners and Derby Grills which have the best prices on beer and cheers with your significant other for the best date night at a ballpark.
If you love the beautiful views of the bay you have to go on the Golden Gate Bay Cruise. Cruises around the bay can be expensive but this one is on $34 and the cruise is an hour-long! On the cruise, you will sail under the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz Island and past the wildlife reserves of the Marin Headlines. This cruise has spectacular views during sunset so plan ahead. Look out for dolphins, sea lions, whales and pelicans as they are often seen on this cruise. The cruise does not include drinks or snacks so make sure to bring your own! Explore the best of the bay with your bae and have a date night you both will cherish forever.
