Hotels Fishermans Wharf
San Francisco
They have the usual Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Sheraton, and Holiday Inn Express as part of the waterfront hotels. One of my favorite Fishermans Wharf hotel San Francisco is the Argonaut Hotel San Francisco. It’s just a couple of blocks from the wharf area and right across the street from the Hyde Street Pier and steps away from Aquatic Park.
Sour Dough Bread
Sour dough bread is everywhere. And it is world renowned.
Take a trip to Boudin’s and you can watch through the window sour dough alligators and turtles being made. Step inside and you can see the fresh bread delivered above you in baskets straight from the oven.
I never leave without taking at least one loaf home – my kids would kill me if I didn’t!
USS Jeremiah Obrien
The USS Jeremiah Obrien is a U.S. destroyer that went on 7 missions that you can tour. It is located on the other side of Musee Mecanique. If you didn’t know about it you just might miss it.
I If you love history then you will want to be sure to visit.
Pier 39 San Francisco is about two blocks from the Wharf. It’s a nice walk to get there. Plan to take your time and you can see the street performers and get some free entertainment along the way.
The Bush Man
Ask any San Franciscan what’s up with “The Bush Man” and they will tell you all about him. But in case you’re afraid to ask I will tell you.
The Bush Man is a man who hides behind some bushes he holds in his hand and when a very oblivious tourist walks by he jumps out from his bushes and scares them. If you see a crowd gathering by Fisherman Wharf and you’re wondering why you have probably found The Bush Man!
