Western Shoreline
Getting There
To reach the Western Shoreline from downtown by bus, take the 38-Geary, which runs all the way to 48th and Point Lobos avenues, just east of the Cliff House. Along the Western Shoreline, the 18-46th Avenue bus runs between the Legion of Honor and the zoo (and beyond).
