Fishing boats, seafood stalls, steaming crab cauldrons and seafood restaurants and sourdough French bread bakeries … you know you’re in world-famous Fisherman’s Wharf. Souvenir shops and museums 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 and Angel Island and other points around San Francisco Bay. This 500-mile cleft in the California coastline has a split personality. It is both a major center for water-borne commerce and a delightful excuse to just go play by the bay.
