Had been to this place twice, once in last year and one recently. The last time I was here, there were 100s of sea lions offering and unimaginable view.But surprisingly the recent trip witnessed hardly couple of sea lions. I believe the sea lions come up only during summer the most. Irrespective of the sea lions, the pier offers an incredible view of the ocean, pier, golden gate, scenic mountain and great wheels - all of them offering a scenic backdrop sxreensavers. Will definitely keep visiting this mesmerizing place.
A picturesque Marina with a grand view to downtown San Francisco, Golden gate, Alcatraz Island & Treasure Island. You can find Sea Lions having a good time most of the year. The Pier 39 has a lot of good etaries, souvenirs and other window shopping options. They recently introduced the fairy wheel which gives a nice birds view of the entire area.
You have a lot of local site seeing options like whales watching, Golden Gate ferry, and other small boat rides available from here.

We never heard about the sea lions in San Francisco and just heard them as we walked by. They were amazing to view while they were playing in the water and with each other. Well worth going to see if you are in the area. Amazing.
I had a delightful time at the Sea Lion viewing area at Pier 39 in San Francisco.
The sea lions were absolutely captivating to watch as they frolicked and interacted with one another.
The viewing platforms were strategically placed to provide excellent views from different angles, allowing me to take some incredible photos. I also appreciated the educational signs that provided interesting facts about sea lions and their conservation.
The only drawback was the occasional strong smell that emanated from the area, which is expected given the presence of a large number of sea lions. However, it didn't detract significantly from the overall experience.
If you're in San Francisco, don't miss out on this unique opportunity to observe these playful creatures in their natural habitat!

Crowded, but worth it! Sea lions are hilarious to watch and the dock is the perfect place!
We were also lucky enough to see the Blue Angels fly by for fleet week!

Ich war ziemlich erstaunt, als ich gesehen hatte dass es hier Seelöwen gibt. Wir haben dieses Tiere zur Abendstunde angeschaut und waren ziemlich begeistert.
Würde ich definitiv empfehlen einmal selber anzuschauen

Sea lions are very funny, you could see them pampering each other here, playing with each other, throwing the other sea lions into the water, etc. Some sea lions are just relaxing and enjoying the sun all the time. Overall a lovely sight
Sea lions are majestic! They are so lazy and fun to watch. I could spend hours here and still want more time. It’s so calming and entertaining to be in this area. They sleep, move around, yell and play with each other. Must visit spot if you’re visiting San Francisco.
