Places to visit in the Bay Area Perfect for a Family Picnic

When traveling as a family sometimes eating can be your largest expense. one of my favorite ways to save a little money for more experiences when traveling is to pack a picnic. California with its beautiful weather and abundance of natural wonders was the perfect place to spread out amongst nature and enjoy a scenic meal. Here are the best places to visit in the Bay Area perfect for a family picnic.

San Jose

There is no shortage of roses in San Jose. The fragrant flowers provide the perfect backdrop to a family picnic. There are two major Rose Gardens in San Jose California, the Municipal Rose Garden, and the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. The Municipal Rose Garden is the more manicured garden but our Our personal favorite rose garden was the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden as it boasts over 3000 varieties of roses. We really enjoyed smelling all the different varieties and seeing if they smelled differently from bush to bush.

This rose garden is located off a stretch of high way beautified by the Mayors efforts to conserve wastewater in the San Jose. The neighboring gardens use the wast wastewater as irrigation

Baker Beach, San Fransisco

If you only have one day in San Fransisco I’d spend the day in the Presidio. A sunset picnic on Baker Beach is the absolute best way to end a hike through the gorgeous park. Baker Beach also happens to be my favorite place to get a unique unobstructed view of the Golden Gate Bridge and is at the top of must-see places to visit in the Bay Area. If you’re driving in or taking public transportation use Battery Chamberlain as your destination marker, as maps often get the location wrong and require a super long walk beachside.

Half Moon Bay is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the Bay Area

Out of all the places to visit in the Bay Area, Half Moon Bay is the most transportive. The breathtaking views of the bay are highlighted by the unchecked beauty of the land. Pack a lunch or grab a bite to eat to-go at one of the places dotting the coast serving super fresh seafood. If you’re going in the spring it’s one of the best places to view the legendary Wildflower blooms in Northern California. Go for the day, Half Moon Bay it will not disappoint
