San Francisco Waterfront Walks at Embarcadero Plaza
Explore Vaillancourt Fountain and open walking space at Embarcadero Plaza, with Ferry Building and Bay Bridge views.
⛲ Public Art Beside the Waterfront
At the foot of Market Street, Embarcadero Plaza gives you a waterfront walk with public art at its center. The square spreads across 3.6 acres of open space around the Vaillancourt Fountain. Make the fountain your starting point, then take the broad walking space at your own pace. There is room here to let a city stroll stretch out.
The Ferry Building is part of the outlook, with sightlines reaching toward the Bay Bridge and water beyond. Trees line the nearby road, bringing another edge to the open setting. Turn your attention from the public art to those waterfront views, and pause between stretches of walking.
You will find it at Market Street and Steuart Street, open every day, 24 hours a day, rain or shine. Choose a moment in your day and leave some time for a slower circuit.
