Summer Guide
Our annual scoop on making the most of the season

HERE IN SAN Francisco, we may not enjoy the balmiest of summers, but there's one thing they can't take away from us: more daylight hours – for picnics, road trips, beer drinking, outdoor concerts, summer-style cooking, tearing down a mountainside on two wheels, playing hooky, and general fooling around. For those on the sedentary end of the leisure spectrum, the Bay Guardian's annual guide to the summer season includes tips on wasting time, our expert film critic's summer-movie picks, and pages and pages of nude beach listings (lucky for naturists, a whole new climate awaits you across any bridge out of town). The more action-oriented can check out our suggestions for out-of-town skate, surf, and mountain-biking spots. And those interested in culture or the culinary arts can turn to us for the most complete fairs and festivals listings, a selective look at outdoor theater, and our food critic's thoughts on seasonal salsas. However you choose to use our guide, make the most of your days and have a great summer.
