Aquatic Park Cove

Amazing place to watch the fleet week airshow by the Blue Angel's. Smaller area than the google map makes you think. Bit lots of room for good sized boats. Great protection from any waves/ swell but still pretty windy.

Lovely walk with views of downtown & Alcatraz

For swimmers, a great place to finish Alcatraz to SF events. If you swim inside aquatic park, beware of rocks underneath water around the west side. Better to stay near the buoys.

The quaint, historic cove surrounded by piers includes a swimming area for people, who are able to enjoy the cold bay water. A small beach invites tourists as well as locals. With the Maritime Museum and it’s old ships on one side and the long curved pier out into the bay on the other, this beautiful spot had much to offer: views, information, education, relaxation. Even so the pier is slowly falling apart it still has charm enough to be visited on your next San Francisco trip. The views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz are amazing and free.

One of best places to see Alcatraz and the golden gate, very close to fisherman’s wharf and worth the trip for the shops around it too!
