Candlestick Point State Recreation Area Details
This is one of the coolest urban parks in San Francisco, with numerous hiking trails, two fishing piers, and breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay. It was originally planned to be a WWII navy shipyard, although when the war ended, it was mainly a dumping ground filled to the brim with garbage. When the state took it over in 1977, it was finally transformed into this beautiful creation area for all to use. Because of its location on the tip of Hunter's Point, this park gets quite windy throughout the day. As a result, it's a great destination for windsurfers, although other visitors might want to bring a warm jacket.
