Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for an outing in the city, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park has something for everyone. Explore the exhibits in the park Visitor Center and watch the park film. Immerse yourself in the high seas voyages of the Balclutha and other historical ships on Hyde Street Pier. Take in the rich colors and surreal designs of the murals in the Maritime Museum. Plunge into the cold water for a swim at Aquatic Park Cove or simply lay in the sand on the beach. Join a park ranger for a guided tour or take part in one of our many community events. Stroll through Victorian Park and catch the cable car at the Hyde Street turnaround, or try a game at the Bocce Ball Courts on the west end of the Aquatic Park promenade. With its many diverse attractions, a trip to San Francisco Maritime is an enriching an memorable destination.
