I highly recommend this trail. It takes you along the ocean while sweeping you in and out of groves of trees. It leads you to an incredible view of the golden gate bridge. Not overrated at all.

Do this if you want the true San Francisco experience. Delores Park becomes a giant gathering/party every saturday and sunday (besides when its raining) bring a blanket, a picnic and a bottle of wine and enjoy. Also, it has an incredible view of the city skyline, (it also has a phenomenal playground ..that both kids and adults enjoy ;p ) To get here you can get off at 16th mission bart and walk up a few blocks to the park. Also, Velencia street (about 2 blocks off from the park has great shopping, restaurants and nightlife.
