What are some of the good beach resort options in San Francisco

A number of countries have Visa Waiver Agreement with United States. So citizens from those countries who have a Visa Waiver Program with the US may enter San Francisco without Visa but they are eligible to stay only for the duration of 90 days. For this these citizens must possess a machine readable passport which must contain a bar code on the photo page. From 26 October it has become mandatory that the eligible travelers under this scheme must posses a passport containing biometrics details.

Any trips that are booked for journeys exceeding 15 miles outside the San Francisco city limits are charged at 150% of the actual metered fare. These fares are often taken collected by the driver at the start of the journey.

Most taxi services either put up lists of rates to nearby towns and popular destinations with the approximate fare (inclusive of the 150% hike). Some provide links to such lists.

Places that qualify for this rate include Palo Alto, San Jose Airport and Sunnyvale in the south, Newark in the east, and Napa Valley in the north.
