Fisherman's Wharf
San Francisco waterfront
Fisherman's Wharf is a waterfront district in San Francisco, originally a working fishing harbor, now a major tourist destination known for seafood restaurants, souvenir shops, and sea lions.
The name has been borrowed by similar waterfront developments in other cities: We walked along Fisherman's Wharf and watched the boats come in.
