This is the beginning to Old Fisherman's Wharf. You first come to the Hyde St. Pier. Then step onto Jefferson, the main FW street. It is often very crowded, as there is a lot to see and do. Many street artists & musicians on Jefferson. There are also import shops, nautical antiques, art, great restaurants, tours & family fun at Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum.
