Pier 7 — Local services in San Francisco

Beautiful public access fishing and recreational pier

Pier 7 is a wooden plank pier constructed on the site of the original Pier 7 which was demolished after it was damaged in the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The original pier, built in 1901, was the oldest structure on San Francisco waterfront and was used as a terminal for passenger ships and boats. It was later used for storage, and after a 1973 fire was converted to a parking lot.

The new Pier 7 is arguably the most beautiful pier in the city. It was designed to serve both fisherman and tourists and the architects nailed it! The design brings back images of a different Victorian Age.

Along the pier, there are lots of benches where we can sit and relax while enjoying the scenery around. During my visit(in the evening) it is very cold so do prepare yourselves with warm clothes. Visit here and get some awesome shot of the pyramid and the Bay Bridge. Entry fee: free Time of travel:...
