Great place to catch fish and rock crab
With a perfect view of the golden gate bridge. Paid parking, only one pay machine was working when we were there.

It is a very scenic spot to see the Golden gate and skyline by night.
It is also a great spot for crabbing! Just bring your crab nets, put some chicken legs/thighs as bait and wait 10min. We got good size rock and dungeness crab very quickly.
We brought a pot and stove to cook on the spot. Very cool experience!

This is a great place to soak in the sights of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline from a vantage point on the waterside just below the famous bridge.
A pier just out into the water and one gets an even better view from it. On a clear day the views are amazing and the golden reflected light of the setting sun from the myriad skyscrapers in the far background on one side and the bridge on the other side, is a sight to behold.
One gets to see the sea gulls and other aquatic birds gliding in formation with supreme grace and small yachts and surfers catching the wind in breathtaking manoeuvres.
A few people are trying their angling skills to catch fish and crabs and the others are just having a stroll and enjoying the sights and the breeze.
There is a cafeteria and shopping place in an adjacent building but it closes down quite early so you may carry your own stuff if you wish to spend more time at this place.
Free parking is available by the waterside.
All in all a great place to spend some quiet time in a very nice place!

Great picturesque views of the Golden Gate Bridge! Just a short walk away from Golden Gate Beach and Crissy Field.
Love the place - got a view of the city as well as the Golden Gate Bridge. Doesn’t get better than this~
After having brunch at nearby (sort of) Colibri, our gang decided to take a leisurely stroll as we were stuffed. That stroll turned into a mini hike as we ended up here by chance. I love having no agenda!
BRIEF HISTORY:
The original pier was built in 1854 (same year that Louis Vuitton was established, LOL) for the construction of nearby Ft. Point which is located beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. The current structure is from 1941.
EXPERIENCE;
Aside from fishing, this is the perfect spot to take in the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. You can’t get any closer on land!
Unfortunately the fog wasn’t letting up so all we could see were Ft. Point and the roadway deck. But, the skyline of the city was 100% visible.
TIP:
The Warming Hut, a retrieve from the blustery chill, is nearby and sells food, beverage & gifts.
OVERALL:
Nonchalant landmark with impressive results.

It's on the way to Golden Gate, if you by bike from the city center, so you can't miss it. I wouldn't probably go there just to go there. However, the place offers a nice view of the bay, the bridge, and Alcatraz. There is a nice gift shop nearby.
