Explore the Charm of Northeast Waterfront Historic District

Getting There

• Walking

  From North Beach, start by heading southeast on Columbus Avenue toward Washington Street. Continue on Columbus Avenue until you reach the intersection with Montgomery Street. Turn right onto Montgomery Street and walk until you reach the Embarcadero. At this point, you will be very close to the Northeast Waterfront Historic District. Continue walking straight on the Embarcadero, and you will soon see the entrance to the district. This walk should take approximately 20-25 minutes.

• Public Transit (Muni)

  From North Beach, walk to the nearest Muni stop located at Columbus Avenue and Bay Street. Take the 30 or 45 bus toward Bayview/Hunters Point or the 39 bus toward the Fisherman's Wharf. Ride for approximately 5-10 minutes and get off at the Embarcadero & Washington Street stop. After disembarking, walk towards the waterfront; the Northeast Waterfront Historic District is just a short walk away. A single ride on Muni costs $3.00.

• Cable Car

  From North Beach, walk to the Powell-Hyde Cable Car turntable located at Powell and Beach Streets. Board the cable car heading toward the Fisherman’s Wharf. Ride for a few stops until you reach the stop at Bay Street. Once you get off, walk east along Bay Street until you reach the Embarcadero, then head south to the Northeast Waterfront Historic District. The cable car fare is $8.00 for a single ride.
