About
Sea lions annexed K docks decades ago and never left—juveniles shove for prime sun planks while tourists oscillate cameras in synchronised awe. Midday haul-outs pack thickest; smell authenticates proximity. Fisherman’s Wharf bustle surrounds with crab vendors and carousel treble—guard small backpacks because gull dive-bombs target chips. Fog horns stitch through marine layer afternoons like muted jazz solos.
Hours & access
Pier access roughly 10:00–22:00 businesses; sea lions seasonal presence.
