Enjoy a sea lion serenade! Located on the west side of PIER 39, you can find San Francisco's very own "sea-lebrities." Don't forget to take a photo with the sea lions and your special someone to make the memory last forever.
The boisterous pinnipeds started arriving in droves in January 1990, shortly after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Each winter, the population can increase up to 900 sea lions, most of which are male. During the summer months, the sea lions migrate south to the Channel Islands for breeding season, but in recent years a small group stays year-round at PIER 39’s K-Dock.

Click the links below to learn about the bay cruises that are currently in season.

Typically inscribed with the sweethearts' names or initials, and perhaps the date, lovelocks symbolize unbreakable love. On PIER 39 and throughout Fisherman's Wharf, visitors and locals alike have symbolized their commitment through love locks scattered on the fences.

Nestled between two buildings on Beach Street, Umbrella Alley is one of the coolest alleyways in San Francisco — it’s where you’ll find the California Dreaming, I Left My Heart in San Francisco, and Greetings from San Francisco murals with fun installations, and brightly colored balloons and umbrellas suspended throughout the entire enclosure. And it’s always a work in progress, with new murals being painted on the regular such as the Summer of Love Monarch Wall featuring a majestic 3D butterfly. It’s an explosion of dazzling color with every square inch plastered with paint, even on the ground!
As one of the best photo spots in Fisherman's Wharf, it would be a shame to miss out on photos with your date here! Make sure to get creative, take some photos, and submit one of them in your form to check this box off your BINGO card!
