When I visited 15 years ago, there was something called (I think) Marin Headlands just north of the Golden Gate bridge. That was a reasonable place to start ... There were some nice march-like areas just on the inland side of the Oakland Bridge, but how much that has been developed in the meantime is anyones guess
