      Yes—absolutely walkable. Pier 33 is basically between North Beach and the Embarcadero. You can walk to North Beach (Columbus Ave area) in about 10–15 minutes, and the Embarcadero runs right along the waterfront in front of the ferry terminal.

      If you’re planning to grab lunch or coffee before or after Alcatraz, North Beach is your best bet. If you want a walk with views, head down the Embarcadero toward the Ferry Building. Everything is close together in that part of the city, so it’s perfect for stretching your legs before or after the tour.
