The fine ruins here excite visitors' imaginations. Adolf Sutro, a visionary 19th century San Francisco mayor, built a home and gardens on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. Today all that is left are dreamily romantic gardens. Below it, on a rocky shore, are the vast remains of Sutro Baths a lavish 25,000-person swimming facility and museum. Just to the south enjoy a stunning view with your meal at the Cliff House.
