Embarcadero, Waterfront boulevard in San Francisco, US
The Embarcadero extends three miles along San Francisco's eastern waterfront, featuring a series of piers that stretch into the San Francisco Bay.
The area transformed from a busy seaport and military logistics center during World War II into a grand boulevard after the 1991 removal of the earthquake-damaged freeway.
The Ferry Building hosts regular farmers markets where local merchants sell fresh produce, artisanal foods, and regional specialties to residents and visitors.
Multiple transportation options serve the Embarcadero, including the F-line historic streetcars, BART stations, ferries, and dedicated bicycle lanes along the waterfront.
The Central Embarcadero Piers Historic District received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for its maritime architectural significance.
