The city’s a sucker.

The longer your stay, the more difficult the escape.

And the more you need one.

That’s the ethos behind Daytripper, your handy guide to a weekend away from San Francisco this fall, brought to you in partnership with the all-new GLA by Mercedes-Benz. Check it out.

First rule of fall getaways: have a proper getaway vehicle.

For that, we suggest the GLA, a compact, fuel-efficient SUV packing 43.6 cubic feet of storage in the back up to 355 horses under the hood.

Getting-outta-Dodge index: 10/10.

Now that’s taken care of, let’s talk plans.

We’re sending you to Santa Cruz. On tap:

French toast with ocean views
A secret beach hiding an even secret-er beach at low tide
And burgers accessible only by funicular

So grab a co-pilot and gather your goods and chattels.

You’re a daytripper now.
