| Address: PIER 39, West Marina Phone: 415-289-SEAL Web: www.pier39.com |
||
| The sea lions camped out in PIER 39's West Marina have been
endearingly coined, "Sea Lebrities." These boisterous barking
pinnipeds started arriving in droves, taking over the docks in January 1990
shortly after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. At first they numbered from
10-50, but due to a plentiful herring supply, available dock space and the
marina’s protected environment, the population grew to more than 300
within a few months. 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. More information
and interactive exhibits are available on Level 2 of PIER 39 at The Marine
Mammal Center’s Interpretive Center and Gift Store.
Days / Hours of Operaton: Hours vary by day of week and season. Please

itself. Why not take your adventure up a notch, and take a motorized Segway
Tour of Fisherman's Wharf, or rent a bicycle from Blazing Saddles and go
for a ride along Aquatic Park to the Golden Gate Bridge. Try touring the
city in a GoCar, a small, yellow GPS-guided storytelling car that can drive on city streets and broadcasts the history and sites of San Francisco while you ride around. For those who dare to test their skills and luck at catching dinner there are several chartered fishing boats at Fisherman's Wharf for sports-fishermen. The Wharf is also a great starting point for day-trips outside of the city including Napa and Sonoma Wine Country, Yosemite, Monterey and Muir Woods. |

in Spanish) The view was good indeed and it served as a warm meeting place
for hundreds of fishermen and handlers who worked for the nearby Sardine
Cannery. There they could take in a whiskey while scouting the bay for incoming
fishing boats which would mean, "Quick! Finish your drink and back
to meet the boats!" In 1952, with the help of a Pulitzer-Prize winning
writer, the Buena Vista introduced to the world it's now famous Irish
Coffee. The recipe has never changed and the view is still quite good. |
