 Aquarium by PetraG
Here you can admire the local sea-animals.
You can walk through an underwater-tunnel and see sharks, bat rays and other fish swimming over your head. Great!
Very nice is the touch-pool area, where you can touch baby sharks, bat rays,... They feel soooo cute!!!! Leave a Comment Directions: At the beginning of the famous pier 39.

 Sea-lions getting a tan. by sabe
Later on, she made the comment "Why on earth did you send me pictures of hundreds of dead seals?"
Why oh why...well they aren't dead, they're making quite a lot of huzzle actually. And they aren't seals either. They smell like a bunch of dead fish though. So I guess there was something slightly right there. They're amazingly cute though! Fascinating creatures indeed. And protected!

 Sea lions by Tami_GLeave a Comment

Instant atmosphere, this place overwhelms the senses. There is so much to do, see, eat, and smell.
Do: Watch free street performers, ride on a carousel
See: Where the Sea Lions hangout
Eat: Burgers, Pizza, Chinese, Seafood, Pasta, Ice Cream, endless fast-food, for a sit down restaurant I like the casual "Eagle Cafe"
Smell: Go to the end of the Pier, and look out over the Bay, you'll feel like you are on a Cruise Ship and that you can practically touch Alcatraz Island. The view from the end of Pier 39 is one my favorite places to experience the Bay without taking a Bay Cruise.
Picture: Don't forget your camera
Also: Blue & Gold Fleet Bay Cruise can be boarded nearby. Dress warm for the Pier, especially after 3pm when the wind starts to pickup. It's never a warm night out on The Embarcadero, prepare for cold & fog. The people in these pictures hit the Pier on a rare warm day. Dress in layers. Leave a Comment

The best attraction at Fisherman's Wharf is definetely Pier 39. Everybody who visits wants to come to this San Francisco landmark.
Every good thing supposedly attainable here is much better and cheaper elsewhere.... If you want seafood, this is the place, you'll have lots of options where the main specialty would be clam chowder. Parking, as in all San Francisco sucks . A huge structure is available at very creative prices. Many ferries do leave from here, which is a worthwhile reason to stop briefly.
Bring your kid's and they'll love the 2 story-carrousel. Leave a Comment

One of the popular attractions in the Fisherman's Wharf area is Pier 39. The pier is home to numerous shops, restaurants, street entertainers and amusements, and as you may expect some of it is a little tacky.
A couple of shops that did catch my eye were a magnet shop - sounds boring, but it was filled with more magnets than you have ever seen in one place in your life! There was also the delicious looking and smelling Fudge House.
The main attraction of Pier 39 for me was that it is home to a group of Sea Lions. This noisy, slippery group can be seen just off the wharf, lazing about, soaking up the sun and 'passing wind' which creates a stinky fug that wafts across the viewing public.
The sea lions began hanging out at the pier back in 1989, and these days almost 600 of them converge on the area in winter, less in summer. I really enjoyed watching them and would rate a visit to these amusing creatures as a must-see. Leave a Comment
