Take the free Presidio Go Shuttle to the Embarcadero (the city’s eastern waterfront) to browse the Ferry Building Marketplace for mementos like a Chez Panisse mug from the 76-year-old, Sausalito-based Heath Ceramics, or artisanal knives and tableware from Bernal Cutlery. Take the Treasure Island Ferry ($10 round trip, children under 5 free) to Treasure Island, a former Naval base that’s being redeveloped as the city’s newest neighborhood with a sprawling waterfront park opening next year. There, enjoy live music (weekends, noon to 3 p.m.) and shareable pitchers of mimosas and Bloody Marys (from $41) at the shipping container restaurant and bar Mersea. Or stroll to the connected Yerba Buena Island and ascend the steep but well-paved path to the three-acre Panorama Park, where Hiroshi Sugimoto’s “Point of Infinity” sculpture, a gleaming 69-foot spire, reaches skyward and the views are unbeatable.
