Fisherman's Wharf, Harbor neighborhood in San Francisco, US.
Fisherman's Wharf extends along the northern waterfront from Ghirardelli Square to Pier 35, featuring restaurants, shops, and maritime attractions.
The first state-owned wharf was constructed in 1884 at Union Street, measuring 450 feet long and 150 feet wide for commercial fishing operations.
Local restaurants maintain traditions through generations, serving fresh seafood caught by fishing fleets that continue operating in the harbor.
The F Market streetcar and Powell-Hyde cable car provide direct access to the neighborhood, with additional transportation options including ferries and buses.
A colony of sea lions established residence near Pier 39 in 1989, just before the Loma Prieta earthquake, becoming permanent inhabitants.

San Francisco brings together historical monuments and natural sites that reflect the city's unique history and geography. The Golden Gate Bridge, a 2,737-meter-long suspension bridge completed in 1937, is one of the region's most recognizable structures. Alcatraz Island, a former high-security federal prison operating from 1934 to 1963, is located in the bay and is visited by ferry. The Painted Ladies, seven Victorian houses built between 1892 and 1896, exemplify San Francisco’s characteristic residential architecture with their colorful facades facing Alamo Square Park. The city also includes Fisherman's Wharf, a historic port district developed from late 19th-century Italian fishing piers, and the Fillmore, a performance hall from the 1910s that contributed to the development of the West Coast music scene. Twin Peaks provide viewpoints at 928 feet (283 meters), while Lands End features rocky cliffs and hiking trails at the western tip of the peninsula. The Cable Cars, a mechanical transportation system operating since 1873, run on three lines through San Francisco's sloped streets.
