Fisherman’s Wharf is touristy, no doubt, but it’s fun for a quick visit. You’ll find musicians, dancers, human statues, and food vendors—some great, some gimmicky. It’s loud, crowded, and full of energy.

The sea lions at Pier 39 are always a hit, and it’s a decent place for clam chowder and souvenir shopping. Locals don’t hang out there much, but if you’ve never been, it’s worth an hour or two, especially if you’re with kids or want a Bay cruise nearby.
