Fishing boats, sea lions basking in the sun, seafood stalls, seafood restaurants and French bread bakeries… You know you’re the world-famous Fisherman’s Wharf. Souvenir shops and historic ships add to the atmosphere. The historic F-Line streetcar and two cable car lines terminate in the area and sightseeing boats and boat charters link to Alcatraz (“The Rock”), Angel Island and other points around San Francisco Bay.
