The Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which wraps around the northern and western edges of the city and is run by the National Park Service, lets visitors fully enjoy it.

The San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni) provides transportation to most sites, including Aquatic Park, the Cliff House, and Ocean Beach.
