This is a great place to spend an afternoon.
The shops on the pier are a lot of fun, including a large variety of choices. One can purchase jewelry, clothing, candy and souvenirs with ease.
The views from the pier are great. These allow for many photo opportunities. Oakland Bay Bridge, Pier 39 lighthouse, Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge are all visible.
For those seeking wildlife, each time I have been to Pier 39 the seals have been present.
For those seeking wild rides they have bungee drops out on the pier.
There are a variety of restaurants and food vendors on the pier to fit all tastes and budgets.
Cruises of San Francisco Bay are available and do not forget the Aquarium.
One could easily fill an afternoon here, enjoyable activity.
