Ghirardelli square, or the Ghirardelli Chocolate Experience, is a popular destination to visit after a long day exploring the city.

This attraction is usually quite busy but definitely worth any wait and is usually open all day from 9 a.m. - 10 p.m.

Located on the west coast of San Francisco, Ocean beach is a wonderful place to watch the sunset.
