Ocean Beach:  This playground of San Francisco fronting the sea, with the Cliff House, the Esplanade, Sutro Heights, the Sutro salt water baths and the Seal Rocks with their barking sea lions, should be seen by every visitor to San Francisco. [By marked cars on Market, Geary and Sutter streets, or by taxi, auto or sightseeing bus.]

Twin Peaks—­Its Tunnel:  This city mountain, nearly 1,000 feet high, is at the end of Market street.  A scenic boulevard, which may be traversed by motor or afoot, winds over it, affording a sweeping panorama of the city and Bay.  Running beneath the mountain is a tunnel carrying a double track street railway line.  This tunnel is the longest and deepest municipal bore in the world.  It cost $4,000,000.  The tunnel is two and one-fourth miles in length and was built to get rapid transit to residence districts. [By “K” tunnel car on Market street, or by taxi or auto.]

Golf—­Sports:  San Francisco has seven golf courses reached quickly by motor cars and street railway lines.  The region tributary to the city is one huge fish and game preserve.  Landing trout or bringing down ducks or a buck can be accomplished within tramping distance of city homes.  Three polo fields are on the peninsula.  Fly-casting on Stow lake in Golden Gate Park, regattas off the Aquatic Park and the Marina, trap shooting, hiking, mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada range, and a diversity of other activities are directed by clubs and organized groups.  Horse racing has been revived at Tanforan and attracts big crowds.  The motor roads in and out of San Francisco are among the finest in the country.
