The Cartoon Art Museum is virtually guaranteed to put a smile on your face as you walk through it and see the nearly 6,000 original items housed in this fascinating facility. The museum received the support of Charles M. Schultz, the creator of "Peanuts," and it was with that impressive blessing that the museum transitioned from a mere idea to becoming the only collection of its kind west of the Mississippi. Located in Yerba Buena Gardens in the city's art center, this popular venue attracts cartoon and comic lovers from all over the world. In addition to the major exhibitions held yearly, the museum also features the very popular bookstore that features several unique items for sale.

Golden Gate National Parks' beaches are among the area's most popular destinations for beach lovers. Ocean Beach most definitely falls into that category. The beach stretches three miles along the western side of the city from Richmond to Sunset. This beach perfectly exemplifies the untouched outdoor beauty of the western part of San Francisco as it looked before it was fully developed. When you take that fact into consideration, Ocean Beach is even more alluring, as the inviting sandscapes and sound of the waves will draw you in, whether the season is warm or cool. In the latter case, you can choose to warm up by grabbing a coffee or latte at Java Beach coffee shop.

Super Sightseeing Tours live up to their name as they offer you an impressive value for your tourism dollar. Their signature double-decker buses set out on a variety of package tours, the most popular of which is the Alcatraz Tour, as well as the equally popular Hop On-Hop Off open trip of San Francisco and the Ultimate City Tour that hits all of the popular sites. This is truly the best way to see San Francisco and Northern California. Super Sightseeing has had the pleasure of showing 150,000 guests the sites in the past year, and your spot on the bus awaits!
