Without any more delay, we offer you an article all about 'Fisherman's Wharf!'



Fisherman's Wharf is one of San Francisco's various districts that have become popular tourist attractions over the course of countless years.



The Wharf is comprised of the northern waterfront area of San Francisco from Ghirardelli Square to Pier 35.



Fisherman's Wharf (The Wharf) was given its current day title during the Gold Rush when Italian Fishermen found this area as a convenient and profitable area for catching and selling Dungeness crab.



Actually, from the earliest days of the city's history until today, the Wharf remains the very heart and soul of the Bay Area's fishing fleet. Although the past thirty plus years the city has undergone a massive effort to transform the wharf into a tourist destination for the millions of global visitors that visit San Francisco each year, this district remains home to the vast majority of the area's fishermen and their ships.



Just stepping out of your vehicle in the area where Fisherman's Wharf resides is a pleasant experience. The scent of grilled salmon, butter covered lobster, locally brewed beers, freshly spun cotton candy and various other sweets drift through the air.



The first thing that I will typically do is to go find the closest pier. My typical order consist of a bread bowl of white cod stew, a San Francisco local beer, and some cotton candy. In fact, after enjoying all of that, I usually head over to one of the various Museum in the area. If it s a weekend and you are with children, the Maritime Museum is a great destination and is located in what appears to be a cruise ship. The Maritime museum displays various models of ships and numerous paintings and displays that give you a peek into life on the open sea.



There are countless restaurants, fisherman style bars, and plenty of games and amusement so that the entire family will have something to enjoy!



QUICK TIP: If you are planning to visit the Wharf this weekend, even if it appears to be sunny, dressing in layers is usually the way to go due to the sharp winds that sometimes come whipping off of the Bay. The Mediterranean climate that hangs on the San Francisco Bay Area means the warmest months are actually after summer, though most of the a stiff breeze will get to you at least a few times each day.
