About Fisherman's Wharf

San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf Pass - Good for 3 Days No visit to San Francisco would be complete without a trip to world-famous Fisherman's Wharf. The area runs along the northwestern waterfront from Van Ness Avenue to roughly Pier 35, and originally served as San Francisco's main fishing pier. Although some fishing still continues here today, the Wharf is primarily known for its excellent dining, fun attractions, and easy access to many of the city's main sightseeing destinations.

Fisherman's Wharf appeals to people of all ages. Children love to see the barking sea lions relaxing at Pier 39 and if they get the urge to be even closer to marine life, the Aquarium of the Bay is a few steps away on the pier. Other Wharf attractions include The Maritime Museum, USS Pampanito Submarine, Museum Mechanique, the Hyde Street Pier (a place to view authentic 19th century ships), Wax Museum and SS Jerimiah O'Brien Librerty Ship

Visitors may also board ferryboats to visit Alcatraz and Angel Islands or just enjoy cruises around the bay. Both Blue & Gold Fleet and Red and White Fleet offer one hour bay cruises around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge. Landlubbers can look forward to prime shopping opportunities from small souvenir shops to the to national retailers, and more specialized stores located at Pier 39, The Cannery at Delmonte Square, and Ghirardelli Square.

What to Eat
