Fisherman's Wharf Fisherman's Wharf, Leavenworth Street, 2nd Floor B-16 San Francisco, CA 94133, USA

Fisherman’s Wharf, on the northern waterfront, is one of the city's busiest tourist areas. Souvenir shops and stalls selling crab and clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls appear at every turn, as do postcard views of the bay, Golden Gate and Alcatraz. There’s also a colony of sea lions to see and historic ships to tour. At Ghirardelli Square, boutiques and eateries reside in the famed former chocolate factory

It is wheelchair and stroller accessible, although the sidewalks are crowded, signs and displays may impede flow. Many corners have curb cuts. Restrooms are available to customers in most restaurants, and public restrooms can be found in Ghirardelli Square, Pier 39 and near the iconic Fisherman's Wharf sign. Most, but not all businesses above the ground floor are accessible by elevator.

SF Travel Guide Recommends

• Visit Ghirardelli Ice Cream shop and try the hot fudge sundae. Their fudge is the best and we strongly recommend ordering an extra serving of fudge on the side.
• Finding a table at peak hours is like finding a parking space at the mall before Christmas.
• While fun during the day, check out Fisherman's Wharf at night, when all the lights are lit and the energy changes to a little more carnival-like.
• Some businesses validate parking, mostly restaurants, so be sure to get your parking validated when you order.
