Visit Fisherman's Wharf: A Classic San Francisco Experience

No trip to San Francisco is complete without a stroll through Fisherman's Wharf — one of the city's most iconic and entertaining waterfront districts. Located just a short ride or scenic walk from Hotel Griffon, it's the perfect place to spend an afternoon soaking up Bay views, enjoying fresh seafood, and exploring classic San Francisco attractions.

This lively neighborhood is home to Pier 39, the famous sea lions, Ghirardelli Square, Musée Mécanique, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and family-friendly museums like the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.

What to Do at Fisherman's Wharf

Come hungry and grab a sourdough bread bowl filled with clam chowder, visit the shops and attractions on Pier 39, or relax with a glass of wine while watching the boats in the harbor. Fisherman’s Wharf is also the launch point for several Bay cruises, fishing charters, and sightseeing tours.
