Facilities: Benches and one fish cleaning station are on the pier. There are no lights. At the foot of the pier is an attractive picnic area complete with small tables, benches and trees—and of course PacBell Park. Adjacent to the front of the pier are restrooms. To reach the pier you go through the South Beach Harbor Marina parking lot, but no public parking is allowed in the parking lot (entered via a gate from 2nd. Street next to the ballpark). There are some free public parking spaces at the front of Pier 40/South Beach Harbor just north of The Java House Restaurant (enter via Townsend Street). There are other metered parking spaces across the Embarcadero on Townsend Street.
Handicapped Facilities: The pier surface is concrete and the railing is approximately 42 inches high; the pier is well suited for handicapped anglers. In addition, the nearby restrooms are marked for the handicapped.
How To Get There: From the Bay Bridge (I80) heading into San Francisco take the Embarcadero exit and then turn right on the Embarcadero to the pier. From south on Highway 101 take exits marked for Fisherman’s Wharf (First Street). This will take you to The Embarcadero. Once on the Embarcadero turn right and follow it all the way until you see Pacific Bell Park. The marina sits just north of the ballpark and the pier is located behind the marina parking lot. A left turn on Townsend will take you into a small parking lot that has some spaces available for the public, a right turn on Townsend will offer a few metered parking spaces. Coming up the Embarcadero from the south turn into the parking lot at Townsend Street (just past The Java House restaurant).
Management: Port of San Francisco.
