There's plenty to see in the Bay Area, but if you need to get out, there's a lot of natural beauty elsewhere. When I visited, I rented a car and drove down the Pacific Coast Highway[1] to Big Sur and it was absolutely amazing. Dramatic views of the coast, beautiful canyons... Loved it. I definitely came away with a case of coastline envy (although I don't know how it compares with Australia).

You can get there and back in a day if you get an early start (or you can overnight).
