Stroll Fisherman's Wharf savoring a fresh crab cocktail while you watch the fisherman put their boats in order. Nearby Ghirardelli Square-built around a 19th-century chocolate factory-and the neighboring Cannery both offer a myriad of shops and restaurants. Board the numerous historic sailing ships at Hyde Street Pier. At Pier 39, home to California's newest Welcome Center, enjoy the sea lions, shops, restaurants, street performers, and a brand-new aquarium. Next door, hop a ferry for Sausalito, Tiburon, or Angel Island State Park. Cruise to Alcatraz to tour "the Rock," a notorious former prison. Or, board a ferry to Vallejo to observe the land, air, and sea animals at Marine World Africa USA.
