Maritime National Historical Park

Maritime National Historical Park

The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park is steps away from Fisherman's Wharf. The park has a fleet of historic vessels, a visitor center, a maritime museum, and a library. The Maritime Museum shows off approximately 35,000 items related to local maritime history. Hyde Street Pier gives you access to very maintained historic ships. Locals love swimming in the serene aquatic cove, and tourists appreciate a bit of quietness from the busy SF. If you are already visiting the famous Ghirardelli Square, you should swing by and get some nice views of the city and sea breeze. If you walk out on the Aquatic Park Cove's Municipal Pier, you can get some of the best views of the San Francisco skyline.
