There's still six weeks left of summer, plenty of time to fill out your bingo card with some of San Francisco's most essential warm-weather (or freezing, foggy weather, depending on the microclimate) activities.

Some of our favorite experiences have been beloved around here for 40, 80, even more than 100 years. And millions of Bay Areans over multiple generations can’t be wrong.

You’ll have a number of options for fresh oysters and other local seafood once there, but the deck at the more than 100-year old Sam’s Anchor Cafe has some of the best views around.
