    Fiserhman's Wharf -- Of COURSE you'll want to go to Fisherman's Wharf, just don't be disappointed and you don't need to spend all day. Take a Bay Cruise and/or go to Alcatraz, but standing around the Wharf you'll see a tourist trap. Walk west to the Buena Vista Cafe and you'll enjoy the area more.

  • Lots of the shops on fishermans wharf are very touristy, as are some of the restaurants, in my opinion the area is a bit disneyfied. However, it is very pleasant for a stroll around.

  • We saw the Fishermen's Warf in our way to the boat to Alcatraz. It's totally a place for turists. It's full of shops and restaurants, but not worth the visit. Not even Ghirardelli Square, disappointing... Concetrate your visit on other sites, if you want to have a taste of the city.

    Fisherman's Wharf, is just a crumby tourist trap. There's nothing of much interest there just touristy T-shirt shops, trinkets, and salt water taffy places you've probably seen before everywhere else. IT's extremely unrewarding a big waste of time considering all the other great parts of SF to visit.

    Go quickly take the cable car to or from and make sure you don't spend too much time there.

    Go to the Farmers Market in the Embarcadero. It's still in about the same area more or less, but at least you'll be doing something genuinely nice.

  • Fisherman's Wharf. All locals avoid it, except for popping by the In and Out burger. Terrible food in the area in my opinion. The view of the bay in the area is fairly good I have to admit.

  • FISHERMAN'S WHARF - As many of you know by now, it's totally pointless. It's like a tattered old amusement park on the water (minus all the fun rides). Take the F-MARKET streetcar out there, walk around for 5 minutes and then leave immediately, sickened by the ridiculousness of it all.

    Fisherman's Wharf is a tourist trap. You can't see the Golden Gate bridge half the time, and even if you could, the sheer cheeziness of the place is overwhelming. That said, you still have to go. You simply have to. The views are great, the water is great, even the cheeziness is great.

    Did I mention Fisherman's Wharf? Here's another picture if you missed the other one. Actually, this is a good picture, once I edited the large thumb out of it. (This was not my usual camera. I thought that I had left my camera at home, so I bought a nasty little disposible. Turns out, my camera was at the bottom of my pack. I'm such a rube.)

    Fisherman's Warf. Too many touristy things. If it is your first visit to San Francisco go for a short time maybe while your waiting on the boat to Alcatraz but don't waste too much time here. Do make an effort to see the sea lions it is quite surreal.
