Hyde Street Pier, San Francisco, CA

Hyde Street Pier
San Francisco, California

The Hyde Street Pier is a historic ferry pier located on the northern waterfront of San Francisco, California. The pier is in the tourist zone of Fisherman's Wharf.

Prior to the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, it was the principal automobile ferry terminal connecting San Francisco with Marin County by way of Sausalito to the north, and the East Bay by way of Berkeley.

Today, the pier is part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.

Below are some pictures of Hyde Street Pier taken in November 2009;
