Port of San Francisco

Take a ferry ride somewhere, at least to the wharf. The scenery from the boat is not to be beat, both the view of SF, the bridge, and the surrounding area. Romantic, and relaxing… ferry terminal has all sorts of shops and cafes and you can sit by the water and chill with some coffee or food.

Pretty industrial. Not sure what this place is for, just checking in here. Not much to say.

I took the ferry from Jack London Square in Oakland to Port of SF and had a great experience. Forget about technology and replying to your texts and answering calls for a couple hours and just ENJOY the moment. Enjoy where you’re at, observe and appreciate the weather, great vibes, and entertainment. I’m a fan of architectural designs and great food and this place has it all! :) The trolley was my favorite part, and is essential to any tourist that visits. When the sun starts to set, it gets chilly esp if you’re heading back on the ferry so make sure you bring a jacket!

The Port of San Francisco has so many things to do here for tourists (and locals alike). You have a plethora of of restaurants to choose from and dine here, numerous of shops to browse and spend your money at and many photo opportunities to take with your family and friends. You can even look at the cute sea lions at pier 39 as well to keep the little ones entertained for a few minutes (sometimes it’s hard to compete with technology I suppose).
The Port of San Francisco is also the place you would go to pick up a cruise ride so that you can sail the ocean blue. There is also a lot of great random large art work all along the area that you can check out as well.
Make sure to bring a sweater or a jacket because it can get quite chilly with that ocean breezy that San Francisco is known for.

For the boy and mine’s anniversary this year we spent a weekend in the bay. Obvi, I wanted to do the tourist thing. We booked a tour with this small tour and the meeting place was at the Port of San Francisco in the front of the Ferry Building. It was only a 15 – 20 minute walk from our hotel. At 7am, the streets of SF were beautiful. There was so much architecture in all the buildings. And the Ferry Building’s clock tower was beautiful the closer you got.
When we got to the building, we decided to go inside. Stepping inside felt like there was so munch history. There were modern restaurants and remnants of old shops that were selling coffee, meats, cheeses and souvenirs.
On our tour, we started and ended at the Port of San Francisco. We ended up taking a boat from Sausalito back to the port and coming in from ocean side was a great view to end the tour.

We had a blast here at the Port. Both day and evening time are great and there is so much to do. Different restaurants and shops and fun activities. Also check upstairs there are lots to do We also bought tickets for the Hop on Hop off trolly which I think is a must If its your first time here. Just remember to bring a jacket because it gets cold here when the sun sets.

Beautiful location, and many recent developments. Much improved in recent years.
