My friend was kind enough to show me around a few years ago. The highlights for me were: wine tasting in the mountains not too far from SF, driving down the pacific coast highway and stopping at some random beaches, and going to Half Moon Bay, which was completely empty on a summer weekday.

If they're at all technical take them to Fry's. I think the one in Sunnyvale is the best one. (This is Hacker News, after all...)

Also a visit to Hawk Hill on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge offers a spectacular view of the city.

Go hiking on Mt Tam. Tennessee Valley is a nice accessible spot with lots of trails around.

Muir Woods.

The most twisty, turny road in America.

Walk around downtown SF.
