A palm-lined boulevard stirred by the clanging of cable cars and a steady breeze…
“The Embarcadero” is the rather grand moniker of the roadway lining San Francisco’s eastern waterfront. It begins below the Oakland Bay Bridge, winds past the old Ferry Building, Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf, finally ending at Pier 45.
Along the way, one has views of many San Francisco landmarks including Coit Tower and Alcatraz Island. The BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) can be easily accessed at the Embarcardero Station southeast of the Ferry Building.
It’s an easy reference point: wander west in San Francisco and eventually you’ll land on the Embarcadero. Further still? Wear a swimsuit.

Your post remind me so many wonderful memories. Hope I can visit SF again.
I love the song named “San Francisco”:
If you’re going to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. If you’re going to San Francisco You’re gonna meet some gentle people there…
iWalk: I bet you have some terrific photos too! I’m missing that ocean breeze today.
I had forgotten about that song… Thanks!
Heather ~ My MIL lives in SF. There is lots of stuff there to do for sure, but she just hates it there. She just hates all the fog and dampness that seems to be there most of the time. But your pictures of it do look pretty. ~ jb///
Good ole San Fransisco, my girls just went to the 49ers game on Sunday and they actually won, our family is all 49er fans, even know they’ve have done terrible the last few yrs…drop by and visit sometime…
A wonderful name for this delightful location.
That really is a misleading name, I thought it would be a name for a road in Mexico or Costa Rica. It sounds like a lovely journey.
I seem to have missed many of your posts. My bloglines has only just notified me that one has arrive. What’s going on?

Coming here is so cool. It’s like a little tease of what I’ll be seeing in a few months. I’ll be back to see what else I have to look forward to.
Love it!
Lazy: Thanks. The fog could get dreary, but it always seems to lift by afternoon. Kind of magical.
mee mOe: Sounds fun! And I wil..l. I’ve been a bit under the weather.
Graham: Thanks for stopping by!
Fly Girl: It does have sort of a Mexican ring to it. It’s a fun walk.
Susanne: Hey there. I had to switch feeds. I lost a lot of subscribers with the transfer. -Sorry you were one of them! Update the feed and you should be fine.
