If you can get tickets on the AAA Club level or higher around first base or right field, you will be treated to a great view. Some of Barry Bonds best homers were "Splash Hits" into McCovey Cove. There are boat tours that visit the cove during games. Another fine view is the right-outfield free section just above McCovey Cove. If you can't afford the pricey AAA Club tickets, then get the free view of the game and the closeup view of the water..Walk or Bike Across the Golden Gate
Look, this one's pretty obvious. Since you could probably figure out on your own that you can walk across the Golden Gate Bridge or bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, I want to tell you a joke instead.Q.

I'm sure I say this elsewhere, but let me remind you again that just because it's sunny, warm, and calm at 9am, it's probably going to be foggy, windy and cold as the afternoon progresses. This is especially true in the summertime. Shorts are great but keep a pair of jeans or other warm long pants in your backpack for later in the day..
