Hyde Street Pier

Hyde street pier is down by Fisherman's Wharf, they have several old boats tied up there you can tour for a fee, I'm not sure it is worth the trip however.

Sealions at pier 39

They're always there hanging out.

Alcatraz and Hyde Street Pier

The walk up the hill isn't recommended, but its tempting to try if the cable car wait is long. Fautrever and A Little Adventure.. have more.

Tour boats lined up at the wharf

The Balclutha.

The ship Balclutha is parked on the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco's Fisherman's wharf area along with several other ships you can tour for a small fee.

San Francisco, Pier 39.

I posted previously on Pier 39 here.

San Francisco Pier 39 sea lions.

The sea lions hang out by pier 39. Sometimes you get lots like this picture or sometimes you only get a couple rafts full, although lately they're always full. Its generally hard to out-stink a place where fisherman frequent, but the sea lions manage to do it with style. If you have visions of yourself swimming with them like dolphins, forget it, they have known to attack swimmers. Its worth a visit if you're doing the touristy thing, and if you get bit, you'll have a scar to show off to your buddies. John's Blog has more on the area.

Sub and ship with alcatraz in the background.

Opinions on them tomorrow.

Pier 39 shops.

Pier 39 is a tourist trap, but you might as well walk around it once while you're waiting for a boat ride. The sealions are nifty for a bit and its a good place for a quick, relatively cheap lunch. John's Blog has more.
