Great place to people watch, it's actually entertaining at times. There are plenty of places to eat, drink, gift shop, or shop for your self. Yes, need a new tee shirt, perhaps the sun is too much and you're getting burned now, even though it's a bit chilly. Be aware of the extra fees restaurant's are charging, they don't have to print it on their menu, but if they want to charge they do have to show it and explain why when you ask. So, perhaps those small vendors might be helpful after all. Bring a windbreaker, San Francisco weather is cool. Hop in a bike carriage $15 per person, Ferry Ride to Vallejo from the Ferry Building - mobile app $9.00 counter purchase $11.25 1 hour ride. There are several stores that have closed unfortunately. Plenty of transportation options in S.F. Be considerate of each other in this life, bringing forth good vibes works for all. We all share this earth, be kind where ever you vacation, kindness spreads faster than you realize. HAVE A GREAT TIME!

This is right besides the bay in San Francisco. It has views of the Golden Gate Bridge as well as the Bay bridge. It has lots of restaurants street artists, street food carts, gift shops and a huge array of shops selling various stuff. It is a beautiful place to go for a nice walk in the evening. There are also shops which sell tickets for tours packages and cruises to various places like Alcatraz, hop-in buses to around the city. The best way in my opinion is to walk around and explore. There are carousels which it’s entertaining for kids. There are restaurants which serve really nice seafood if that’s your preference. Is also a nice place for capturing nice photographs of the city and the skyline and it’s up and down roads, which San Francisco is famous for.

I love the hustle and bustle at this pier. Great time to spend with your loved ones. Been multiple times at this pier in different seasons. Spring equinox is a great time to be at this place. Plan to spend minimum of 2-3 hours at this place. Street parking is difficult to find, however parking garage for $15 flat fee is affordable and walking distance. Good vibes with great food, shows and music and visually appealing spots. Strongly recommend!

Pier 39 was amazing. We went around late Dec and we’re lucky to see the seals out basking in the sun. Pretty much looked around the place and enjoyed the views. Although it was busy it was nice being at pier 39 and watching the seals. Highly recommend if you wanna do something chill around San Francisco. This attraction is also close to the Ferry Building which I recommend too. Also easy access to the boat that takes you in a tour to the old federal prison - Alcatraz, which is also worth your time.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Shatavia Reed | Aug 20, 2019
John White | Aug 19, 2021

If by some fluck you were able to get close enough to touch one it could very easily grab you in it's jaws and drag you under and drowned you . They're very strong and temperamental. Only a fool would try to mess with a wild beast that weighs 300--500 lbs. (males) ....90--200 lbs. (females).

No. Humans are at no time close to the sea lions. They are wild animals with large teeth and can be aggressive. Trust me, you don't want to be close to them. They lay around on floating docks a safe distance from people. They are plenty close enough to enjoy watching. And I don't think they recommend that you feed them either.
