Fishermans Wharf
Tourists throng the shops and seafood restaurants of Fisherman’s Wharf while sea lions bark and frolic around Pier 39. But just beyond this busy area, you’ll find calmer residential streets with upscale condos and apartments. Walk to picturesque Aquatic Park to watch--or join--the year-round swimmers and check out the handsome old ships anchored nearby. Fort Mason, site of a weekly farmers’ market and--in summer—popular Off-the Grid-food truck parties, is also in the vicinity. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a hardcore fitness buff, you can walk, run or bike for miles on paths that connect the waterfront to Crissy Field and beyond.
