    Was out walking along the Embarcadero and found this spot. Some people were walking, others sitting, and a few fishing. I went out because I liked the view and it did not disappoint! Provided a beautiful view of the coastline. They also have cool murals of different boats along the handrails.

    Whether you're a local or visitor, Pier 14 is a must visit place because it offers an up close and beautiful view of the Bay Bridge and also the water front of SF. It's a great place to see the Bay Bridge lights, come after dark and you have front row seats. Other than the views, you're also surrounded and steps away from the Ferry Building and lots of other restaurants to grab a bite and explore. Parking is kind of tough here given it's on the Embarcadero and if you're coming after dark, just be vigilant of your surroundings - this area is not as safe as it used to be.

    Loved it here. The scenery is amazing in a clear day, quiet relaxing spot. Rode my bike here and am going again soon it's so nice at night. Check it out on f you have time great spot inbetween AT&T stadium and Pier 39

    I definitely love this place! I got the best photographs of the Bay Area from this area. It took me a while to master this technique and definitely worth all the sleepless nights and the time.

    Pier 14 has great views of the Bay Bridge and when you're out on it, great views of downtown San Francisco!! This pier is concrete, most of the others are made of wood. This whole area is (or was before the pandemic). heavily trafficked with lots of people!! Go here for the views and that Bay breeze on a summer day, can't beat it!!

    Dock of the Bay! Pier 14 was not around when Steve Cropper and Otis Redding were writing the lyrics to the song, but it is around now and is one of the more popular piers with visitors. It lies between the Bay Bridge and the Ferry Building. It's primarily a pedestrian walkway, although these days you can expect to see scooters, bikes, skateboards, etc. almost everywhere! The Pier stretches far out into the bay with great views of the city skyline, the Bay Bridge and Yerba Buena Island. On a clear day you can even see the Golden Gate bridge on the far far left! So go sit in the mornin' sun and be sittin' there when the evenin' comes! You can watch the ships roll in; then watch 'em roll away again! Yes, you'll be sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away, and remember there is nothing wrong with wastin' time!

    Amazing views of the bay bridge, ocean, and San Francisco. Especially at night. Not a tourist trap, Next to the Ferry Building and not far from AT&T park. Nice place to relax, take in the awesome views and appreciate your existence lol

    I have been visiting Pier 14 for quite a few years now because I don't live very far from it. This is a great place if you want to get a great panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island and the San Francisco skyline. I came here yesterday while riding my scooter because of the very nice weather and thought I would take some photographs here.

    This would be a very nice and beautiful place to visit, if it weren't for all the people hanging out, urinating and smoking weed. It reeks of marijuana and urine. There's a lot of graffiti on railings, trash cans, the ground, etc. The view from the end of the pier was nice though, looking in both directions, to the bridge and to the bay.

    Pier 14 was the former breakwater for San Francisco's Downtown Ferry Terminal. After a 2.3 million revitalization project, the pier was opened to the public in of June 2006. I think it was money well spent! Today this 637-foot long pier offers sweeping views of the bay, city skyline, and ships gliding by. I like to walk out on the pier just before sunset and watch the lights on the bridge come on and then look back at the city. However, it is a great spot anytime of the day.

    A new pedestrian pier dedicated to former Mayor Art Agnos opened to the public on 16 June 2006. Beyondchron.org article (http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=3389) explains how Agnos stood strong to support the controversial proposal to reopen the waterfront after 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. I wasn't here during that time, but I could only imagine the battles he had to fight on such a bold move. I'm enjoying the outcome, which is a beautiful waterfront where I love jogging on weekends. Pier had several rotating chairs to sit back and enjoy the view of Ferry Building, downtown, and Bay Bridge. It gives you an unique view of the city without needing to drive to Treasure Island. There was a temporary sign that noted Pier is open 6am-8pm.

    This has gotta be one of the most beautiful piers in San Francisco. I took a walk on it yesterday when it was sunny and clear (a gorgeous Sunday). People were strolling with their families, the blue of the sky reflected on the Bay. A gentle ramp starts your ascent onto the Pier. The railing looks like the curve on a rattan basket except it's silvery metal. Along the Pier there are pairs of chairs which you can sit in to admire the view but also spin around in a circle just for the fun on it! On the side at the base of the railings, a few ceramic tiles with pictures (sailboat, etc). The view is breathtaking! You can watch as tankers roll in. Cargo ships coming in and out. There are private boats, ferry boats, commercial vessels. If you love being near the water (without getting your feet wet), if you have someone to take on a walk (even a dog), this Pier is special: a little bit artsy, a little bit utilitarian, a little bit of what makes San Francisco unique. I love it!

    I had been to visit San Francisco many times before, but I had never heard of Pier 14 before my best friend mentioned she wanted to come and check it out. This pier is right next to the Ferry Building and since we came on a Saturday, the Ferry Building Farmer's Market was in full swing. Pier 14 was empty compared to the crowd that was right across the water - there were only a few fishermen or some couples walking along the pier also. The views from the pier were definitely a different perspective from what we normally see. There's a great view of the city from the end of the pier and also great views of the Bay Bridge. We went during the day, but I wish we had gone back to see it at night with the lights on Bay Bridge (we went during the winter). Glad my best friend dragged us out to this pier. I definitely recommend visiting it if you're already going to be going to the Farmer's Market or the Ferry Building. Cupid's Span is to the right of the pier as well.

We did the trail that took us to the West Point Inn for the pancake breakfast and round trip was close to 5 miles so it was a great workout. There's gorgeous views and well! On the way back to the 101 however it's a mess. The road on the way down is crowded with parked cars, which makes driving through challenging.

Ever since then, I've wanted to hike this peak, today I have achieved my wish. Early June with mild coastal temp, 50s-60s. Started up Matt Davis Trail in the foggy forest, to Pantoll Campground, to West Point Inn where we can look down to the top of the fog layer, to the Fire Lookout building at the Peak. Then we came down reverse but split off to Steep Ravine and Dip Sea trail after the campground. I've also always wanted to climb that ladder. This hike provided views of the Pacific ocean on the West as well as views of Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on the East side. I thoroughly enjoyed the cool lush forest, but actually my favorite section was the single track along the slope of the open area after the Mt Tam State Park sign.

Let's also close down the streets from cars one day a week in the Summer so people can ride their bikes, skate, rollerblade, play and dance in the streets! How about on some warm weekend days we put huge concerts there that fill the grass for as far as the eye can see so people can bring all their friends to enjoy food, drinks, and music together. And the lake... let's make it so people can rent boats, and if they don't or can't row, they can peddle so they, too, can enjoy the waterfall and life on the lake! Let's also have beautiful statues around the park, definitely a Shakespeare Garden, and let's throw in something for garden lovers, like a Botanical Garden (a big one) and a Conservatory of Flowers. For more culture, let's add a Japanese Tea Garden with more lakes and flowers, and even a bridge in the shape of a circle. Let's also make this accessible to everyone, so some days, the museums are free (ie, usually once a month). And some entrance fees are lower for locals. (Check the websites.)

The layout is more challenging and perfect for little explorers who love to climb, balance, and stay active. My 3-year-old always finds something new to do, and it keeps them engaged for a long time. I also appreciate that babies aren't left out--there are designated areas where younger kids can safely play too. The restroom is conveniently located and clean, which is a big plus for families. That said, some of the rocky edges can be a bit risky for adventurous kids, so it's definitely a place where you'll want to keep a close eye on them at all times. The only downside is parking--it can be pretty tough to find a spot, especially during busy times.

There is a rather large and modern kids playground and even more large grassy areas, both for those who want to lounge and for the dogs that want to run around.
