Plan to spend at least a half-day, if not a whole day here. So many things to see and do at Pier 39. I highly recommend saving your appetite until you get to the pier .

There are more locals than foreigners on Pier 39, a notorious tourist attraction boasting a number of iconic San Francisco landmarks , from historic seafood restaurants to resident sea lions . Read more

Whether you want to enjoy the local seafood , famous, clam chowder , shop the local boutiques , or be entertained by street performers , Pier 39 is the place to visit for tourists and locals alike.

The most popular pier in San Francisco. All tourists come to see the California Sea Lions in the bay . You should visit Pier 39 before going to Fisherman's Wharf.

As a kid, did you love WWF's Royal Rumble, the battle royale event in which wrestlers eliminated their opponents by throwing them from the ring until only 1 remained? Then you're gonna love Pier 39

Every tourist shop sells the same stuff but definitely make sure to check out the sea lions at the end and the behind the scenes aquarium tour is totally worth it!

The best and most famous Pier in all San Francisco, has great shops for all people, nightlife is really good, restaurants and environment is as well amazing

Sounds so silly, but I love bringing my dogs here because watching them react to the sea lions is the funniest thing ever!

Visit the pier to find the Sea Lions and some great shops and restaurants

Get around one of the most touristy place of San Francisco. Enjoy shopping and ferries around. Don’t forget to say hello to the sea lions !

You will not be able to resist the giant strawberries with chocolate dip ????????????it is divine ❤️

I am so excited I found this place. The vibe inside is upbeat and fun. Probably some of the best customer service I've received at restaurant .

Lots of restaurants here. Short walk from pier 33 if you r doing Alcatraz tour . There r souvenir shops too and a merry-go-round right at the back. Most of the shops closes at 9.30pm.

An iconic place of San Francisco, beautiful for a walk. It's a must if you visit this amazing city . I was looking forward to visiting many places. ????

Lots of shopping and foodie fun within this Embarcadero institution. Checkout the sea lions . Some of the biggest strawberries I've ever seen in the outdoor market . Chocolate Heaven is worth a look.

Nice place to spend time dining, for desert , or just look at the sea lions

I've had many great memories here. I go every year when I'm in San Francisco. I love the sea lions . They are really cool to watch.

Great spot; very touristic with a lot gift shops , restaurants . Possible to see sealion herd, and point for bost trips to Alcatraz . Must-see area.

Amazing Place. Many stores and Gift shops . Beautiful look on Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge . Don't forget to visit the seal

The Alcatraz tour costs 35 for the daytime and 42 in the night. And it's always pleasant to stare at the sea lions for hours!

If you're planning to explore San Francisco from water in the Rocket Boat, please be careful.. Especially don't get the back seats. My camera , my friends, my clothes - all freaking wet ;)

Visit the famous sea lions on the K-Dock of Pier 39, that began gathering shortly after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 and at one time has grown to a record 1,701.

Beautiful spot includes many activities like restaurants , booking tickets from kiosks for cruises , coffee & dessert or taking photos

Scenic view and amazing location to watch sea lions , otters and sea life creature! A treasure!

This is definitely a must if you're visiting SF, there's a lot to do around here, souvenirs, food, attractions and you can see the sea lions near the pier

Lots of souvenirs shops, with a beautiful view of Alcatraz prison .

Come for the seals and grab a chocolate dipped strawberry . Trishes Mini Donuts is cool. Only the wealthiest chains remain on this high rent pier .

I could never get tired of this place. I always start at the Embarcadero and walk through the piers , great exercise and nice scenery. Many dining places to choose from as well as sight see.

These guys are quite noisy n stinky,but still their hot spot makes ppl smiling ✌????????

Lots of activities from Trampoline , Cruise , Carousel, 7-D experience to name a few. You can easily spend a whole day without regret !

The Pier 39 is a "MUST!" Stop if you go to San Francisco shore! Clam Chowder should be no. 1 option to try...

This place is all about the sea lions ! Really good to see them just lounge here. We ate at Pier Market Seafood .

Take is the gorgeous panoramic view of the bay . The Bay Bridge , East Bay , Alcatraz , Angel Island , and the Golden Gate Bridge can all be seen from here. And of course, watch the sea lions !

One of the most lively areas of SF. A lot of tourists but it worths a walk around. Nice restaurants and colourful shops.

Many souvenir shops, restaurants and my personal highlight the sea lions . Plan a nice walk from Pier 39 to Fisherman's Wharf.

Plan to spend the whole day here along Fisherman's Wharf...lots to do! Aquarium , Hard Rock Cafe , Local Sustainable Seafood Dining, Pier 39 Sea Lions , Charter Boat & Sailing , Whale Tours , & much more!

Check in and visit the California Welcome Center on the 2nd floor. Super nice and helpful, not to mention they'll validate your parking for the Pier garage !

Big bus states last bus from here is 7.04pm... is a big lie! Last bus from union square is 5pm so no guarantee u will see a bus at 7pm here...

Yeah, its a tourist trap, but its my kind of trap! Still love the pier , nice shops, lots of chocolate . 3D Rides are always fun, and its fairly safe even at night.

This place is a circus ! ???? Walk around along the outside of the pier for a less noisy and crowded experience. The sea lions are worth a visit.

Tourist place but oh so fun! Check out the sea lions in the back and enjoy a overpriced corn dog .

Perfect Amazing Spot to spend all day with the kids. Restaurants and shops are lovely

A must see in SF. A nice scenery of the San Francisco Bay . You can watch the sea lions if you're lucky :)

This place is amazing, I can't describe go and check it out by yourself
