The San Francisco Peninsula is the stretch of San Mateo County that sits directly south of San Francisco, bordered by San Francisco Bay to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The region includes cities such as San Mateo, Redwood City, San Carlos, Foster City, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, San Bruno, South San Francisco, Daly City, and Millbrae, along with the northern edge of Silicon Valley. What sets the Peninsula apart is the balance it strikes: all the amenities travelers expect near a major city, including San Francisco International Airport, 18 Michelin recommended restaurants, and more than 17,000 hotel rooms, paired with a quieter, more relaxed pace than San Francisco itself. With 30 miles of bayfront, nearly 60 miles of Pacific coastline, and a mild 68 degree average annual temperature, it offers an easy, scenic alternative just 20 minutes from the city.
Looking for hotel accommodations? Hotels on The San Francisco Peninsula are just minutes from San Francisco and the San Francisco International Airport. During your visit, you will have plenty of options to choose from – from gorgeous California coastal cities like Half Moon Bay and Pacifica to the heart of Silicon Valley, luxury resorts, quaint inns, full-service hotels, and bed & breakfasts all await your stay.
Want more? Well, where else can you take in a San Francisco Giants game and a Stanford game on the same day? Or hop on a San Francisco Bay cruise or Pacific Ocean whale-watching expedition, then head back for wine tasting in the afternoon? The San Francisco Peninsula is the perfect destination for foodies, outdoor enthusiasts, art lovers, and fun-seekers.
