Known forwaterfronticonicurbanscenic
The broad promenade stretching along the bay from the Ferry Building toward AT&T Park is one of the great urban waterfronts in America, with views of the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, and constant ferry and boat traffic. Walk, jog, or rent a bike along the flat path, and pop into the Ferry Building Marketplace for world-class provisions. It's heavily trafficked by tourists and commuters alike, and the Saturday farmers market draws enormous crowds.
