Fisherman's Wharf remains one of San Francisco's most popular tourist destinations. The Wharf consists of a long, coast side row of seafood restaurants, street vendors, souvenir stores, and beautiful ocean scenery. Fisherman's Wharf was originally a major fishing pier, and although the fishing industry is still alive today, the main focus of this specific coastal area is its historic tourist attractions. Parking is limited on the Wharf itself so parking downtown or taking a cable car to the Wharf is recommended. Ferry rides are offered for those who would like to visit Marin County. There are numerous attractions and great places to eat (see the other entries for Tourist Attractions and Fisherman Wharf restaurants). Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers, even during summer months, the breeze off the ocean can be quite chilling. And take your camera. The photo opportunities are fabulous. And don't forget to visit the barking sea lions at Pier 39. The kids will love them, guaranteed!

While Fisherman's Wharf may be one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, as a local, I still love this spot. Nothing is more fun than taking a visitor to see the sea lions at Pier39 and eat some killer clam chowder in a bread bowl. There's everything a tourist can want: great local food, beautiful views across the bay (on a rare clear SF day), and proximity to other attractions. SF's popular North Beach is walking distance with Ghiradelli Square and the Buena Vista. Not to mention, the trolley turn around is right there. It will take you all the way into Downtown. TIP!-- although I love the Wharf, it is best to plan to visit on a weekday, when there are less people. Weekends can be quite overwhelming and might ruin the fun.
