Fisherman's Wharf is a favorite spot for souvenir shopping, delicious sea food, and strolls along the water docks. A typical tourist attraction in San Francisco, this area is always bustling with people, offering beautiful views of the bay, as well as sun-bathing sea lions on nearby rocks.
Haight-Ashbury, the San Francisco district named for the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets, gave rise to fame in the 1960's as a national hot-spot for hippie culture.
