SoMa in San Francisco is a district encompassing multiple distinct areas of the city. By having such a huge area of exploration, those new to the city will find plenty to do in SoMa San Francisco.
This area is also full of history, restaurants, trendy cafes, stores, and other activities. HIVE Co-living is centrally located within SoMa, allowing for ample exploration — here are six things to do:
Located at the heart of SoMa San Francisco, Salesforce Park is a must see in San Francisco. Salesforce Park is unique in that unlike all the other parks in San Francisco it is inside the Salesforce tower. Salesforce Park is, thus, cozily embraced by both the park’s greenery and the city skyline. The relatively new park features plants from all over the planet, including Asia, Africa and South America.
Other amazing features of Salesforce Park are its amphitheater, water fountains, and playground. In the summer there will be events hosted there. If you’re lucky on a Thursday or Friday you might even be able to grab a beer during the company’s Happy Hour.
On the weekends the park becomes more quiet, creating the perfect atmosphere for picnics, yoga, or quiet city dates.
One of the best things about living in San Francisco is the proximity to the ocean and bodies of water. San Francisco is nestled in between a vast number of beaches and the bay.
South Beach is a great place to see the Bay Bridge while biking next to the bay. The area by the piers surrounding South Beach is full of life and art, while also having a bit of grassy areas.
While walking South Beach towards the Ferry Building you will encounter outdoor musicians, performers, and more keeping the sightseeing lively.
Seeking an outdoor experience? You can sit in any cafe or pop-up restaurant outside the Ferry Building and enjoy the view of the Bay. Otherwise, you can head inside and explore many of San Francisco’s niche products. If you walk about 5 minutes north you’ll find the Exploratorium. This is an incredibly fun and hands-on science museum full of life-size experiments. There’s so much to do along the Pier!
Another great area to explore in SoMa is Pier 40 and Oracle Park. These two iconic areas of the city sit next to each other, making it the perfect place to explore.
On normal days, Pier 40 is bustling with activity since most of the ferries in the city leave from this pier. Walking through Pier 40 you can see rows of ferries, fishing boats, and even yachts worth millions of dollars. If you’re lucky, you may even get a glimpse at the famous San Francisco seals playing in the water.
If this isn’t exciting enough, you can always head over to Oracle Park. Here you can enjoy a game with the San Francisco Giants during baseball season.
In the off-season, it is still a grand arena worth visiting. Oracle Park can amaze anyone through its size and amazing view right by the bay.
