Pier 1.5
Pier 1.5 is a floating dock tucked just south of the Hornblower pier along the Embarcadero, well-suited for mooring vessels up to 40 feet. It's one of those low-key spots that punches above its weight, sitting right in the heart of San Francisco's waterfront with the Ferry Building and Bay Bridge views practically in your face. Note that access can be subject to ongoing dock system renovations, so check ahead before you head out.
