What should you pack for San Francisco in June? Honestly, layers. Always layers. I own one of the biggest tour companies here in the city and if I had a dollar for every guest who showed up in shorts and froze at the Golden Gate Bridge, I could buy another bus.

June in SF is not your typical California summer. The fog rolls in thick, mornings and evenings are chilly, and even midday can feel cool depending on the neighborhood. We locals joke that summer doesn’t really start until September.

Here’s what I recommend:
Bring a warm jacket or hoodie, a light scarf, and comfy walking shoes. You’ll want layers you can easily take off when the sun pops out in the Mission or put back on when it disappears in the Marina. A beanie or cap doesn’t hurt either, especially if you’re doing a Bay cruise or heading to Muir Woods.

You don’t need to dress fancy here, but you do need to be prepared for weather that changes by the block.
