SO MANY TOURISTS-yes, myself included... There are some fun street performers and awesome seafoods all along the harbor!!! Visit during the week so it's not too busy, plus bring a sweatshirt for night

You may wanna go see it if you're a tourist. Beyond being a tourist attraction, wharf offers great seafood restaurants options, along with other chains such as boudin, chipotle, in-an-out burger etc.

Fans of the traditional English seaside pier will feel right at home here: touristy but fun. Make sure to visit the pier head for great views of the bay and Alcatraz.

Fisherman's Wharf gets its name from the Gold Rush. Our Michelin footwear, with its tire traction on the sole, will keep you grounded and slip-free in case you find any slippery spots along your way!

A delight for sea food lovers. Make sure to check out Pier 39 for a great view of the Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge. To end it off take the Hyde street trolley and enjoy the wonderful views

Must see area; with a lot of touristic attractions, gift shops, lounges and restaurants. Lively by noon and during the day; not that crowded after 8pm. Beware if the pickpockets.
KarenJanuary 23, 2019
Been here 5+ times
Just an incredible wharf featuring many of San Fran's iconic sights, including the big ship wheel (photo op!) -- but, really, how to choose where and what to eat?
Aran RodríguezApril 12, 2018
World famous Fisherman's Wharf was pretty cool. Music playing, plenty to eat and choose from. However, if you do not like seafood (like me) you food options are more limited.

Tourists: perfect time to visit Fisherman’s Warf is between 7:30AM - 9:30AM, M-F. Minimal activity. Get close-up to anything.

Clam chowder bowl is the best and crab cakes were delicious 😋
DavidMay 13, 2015
A little of a tourist trap but definetely check out the elephant seals basking here. See them play, roar and snooze. Up close and personal
Aaron CruzJuly 26, 2014
Grab some seafood, hit up the touristy shops, get the original Irish Coffee at Buena Vista, checkout Hyde Street Pier, ride the iconic cable car, something for everyone in this neighborhood.
NeMeSiSApril 13, 2015
Most visited tourist spot within SF. Lovely view and lots of shops and restaurants. Give yourself time and visit these shops and look at the view. Time worthy to spend ard here.

My mom got hurt here by a firecracker type bomb. Just stay away from Fisherman's Wharf. (My mom is fine).
PoojaSeptember 5, 2015
Good views. Sea lions are always fun to watch. Each store has its own character here - explore and enjoy. Love that so many places are open till late (9-10pm).

It's definitely worth spending a full day exploring the area and the piers.

Great view to Alcatraz, pier 39 is a great place to walk through, there are lots of shops, places to eat. Don't forget to see the see lions.
N ~January 25, 2016
Biking, walking, and tasting food. This is a great place for tourists. You can rent bikes, or get in the ferries to Sausalito. Many gift shops and restaurants.
Kaitlin DeckerSeptember 1, 2015
Must have gone during a high tourist season because I found the dramatic view of Fisherman's Wharf from the Golden Gate Bridge much preferable to actually visiting that area. Boudins is great though!
Jason H.July 3, 2018
Pretty photo ops and fun touristy part of town. But bear in mind it is touristy and other parts of the city have much more interesting sights and much better food.
medvedevJuly 25, 2018
Fishermans Warf offers a lot of sightseeing, souvenir shops and restaurants for tourists.
Danielle PierreFebruary 6, 2014
One of my favorite places. Pier 39 is great but a lot of other great restaurants & sights as well. Parking is almost impossible to find on weekends and holidays.
Richard RevillaOctober 1, 2012
Great place to hang out and grab a quick bite of seafood maybe chowder, don't have dinner here. So many other great places in SF for dinner.
Nasser AlHarbiSeptember 27, 2015
Good place to see the sea lions & Alcatraz prison and try to go there early to avoid the crowd.👍🏻👍🏻
RashidJuly 12, 2017

Short walking distance away from Pier 39, lovely view of several San Francsico monuments, and plenty of shops and restaurants
IzabellaApril 30, 2015
A lot of stores to buy souvenirs, great place to take pictures, some restaurants... Enjoy your day in the city by the bay!
Roy CudillaAugust 13, 2013
parking's a little pricey by my standards (20$) but its all day. the place to be would be pier 39. if youre planning to save $$, there are take out counters which have tables and seats.
EDRAugust 7, 2016
Touristy place but worth a visit not on a windy day. Good for chowders, seafood, views, sea lions, restaurants and shopping. Parking is very expensive.
Kate SchreckDecember 15, 2015
Awesome spot for seafood but always covered in tourists. Nice place to go in the morning though if you get there early enough.
Sunil KoundinyaAugust 25, 2014
Happening place near pier 39. You can touch the bay. It is in front of ghirardeli square. Cable Car boarding point for city. Lots of shopping, shops, bakeries and fun
Shannan SuiApril 22, 2013
I'm not fan of these tourist traps but the sea lions were worth the visit. Spent 15 minutes watching two alpha males duel for a spot on the floating dock. Great entertainment!
Alice RoFebruary 10, 2016
One of my favorite places in the world, the view, the market, the restaurants, great place to visit and hang out.
Heath EdwardsMarch 24, 2013
Go see the seals on Pier 39, eat sourdough bread at Boudins, eat clam chowder or crab from a vendor, take pictures by the bay.
Julia CohanSeptember 11, 2017
This area is great for tourists and for that reason can be expensive. Try finding coupons on things to do around the Wharf prior to arrival. Read more

The Piccadilly Circus of San Francisco. Tourist & fish heaven. Worth a visit if it's your first trip to the city
Corinne and JonathanAugust 13, 2011
Corinne took Jonathan to this famous wharf to check out the amazing view and have some of the famous clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. You have to try some!
Andrew CJuly 4, 2016
