Walk up the hill to the Berkeley Rose Garden. The path is steep but the view of the bay waiting for you is worth it. Arrive early to find a good spot on the lawn or a bench facing west.

Watch the sunrise. On 15 October, the sun sets toward the W, casting a warm glow over the bay and the city below. The garden is especially nice for this moment, offering a clear, unobstructed view.

Head down to Nabolom Bakery for breakfast. Open from 07:30 on weekends, this is the perfect time to grab fresh pastries or a quick bite. It is a short walk from the garden and opens just as the morning light settles.
08:17
Finish your morning at Oak Park. This landscaped open space is a pleasant place to sit and digest your breakfast. It is a short walk from the bakery and offers a quiet spot to enjoy the rest of the morning light.
Local tip
The walk up to the Rose Garden is steep. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer, as it can be cool in the early morning.
