Hey everyone, Join me on my walk around San Francisco Pier 39!
I'm amazed at what I see;
the crowd!
I have never been this happy to see a crowd.
I see it..
Feel it..
getting back to some normalcy.
There is an overall feeling of a new dawn.
I see people are enjoying life to the fullest.
We're in a new era.
A new sense of optimism.
Everything looks possible.
Right now,
being here,
I feel so good again!
Situated along the waterfront,
PIER 39 is home to many of the best things to do in SF.
With picturesque views and experiences of everything,
it’s not hard to see why this place is such a draw for travelers.
One thing is true here..
no one will go hungry at Pier 39!
Many sit-down restaurants here with glorious views
or pick up your favorite delicious goodies
from one of these vendors.
I find it convenient here
and has lots of variety.
All the eating experiences here are great.
We have wine and beer tasting options as well.
Head out to the end of the pier,
and you see Alcatraz straight ahead.
One of the most famous prisons in the world.
You can watch all the maritime activity on the wharf.
You can see the cruises running now.
They sail out under the Golden Gate Bridge,
then around Alcatraz prison,
and you will get to see whales as well as dolphins, seals, and sea birds,
and all the sea fun!
You can see sailboats and ferries coming and going
and the vast container ships lumbering into the harbor.
I found it very relaxing as well as unique to sit and watch.
The setting on the wharf couldn't be more mesmerizing.
All the views here are spectacular!
And there are lots of fun things to do and see here.
For all ages.
Not all activities along PIER 39 cost money.
You’ll come across street performers throughout the day
free entertainment in the form of music, art, magic shows, jugglers, comedians, etc.
There are some pretty cool shops as well.
PIER 39 has two levels with stores selling apparel, accessories, cosmetics, jewelry, snacks, and more.
And you will find many SF-themed options here.
Shopping is a big part of the attraction of Pier 39.
And if you're looking for souvenirs, you're in the right place.
Let's walk around and see more of them!
Post pandemic,
I really needed to indulge in
in this city’s undeniable energy.
There are many more exciting things than this,
don't worry,
we'll come back later for sure!
To me,
this location perfectly encapsulates what San Fran is
— a wonderful port city filled with opportunity and innovation
— you just have to squint a little harder through the fog to see it sometimes.
