Activity Description
There used to be a beach in North Beach, then a fraudulent financier formed a fantastic, F-shaped fabrication to facilitate fleets and ferries. Forthwith, factories and fishing folks filled in fairly fast, the flora and fauna fading. The financier famously frauded Frisco and fled, finally finishing the fiasco, forlorn and forgotten. And the beach is, too.
Where's the F-ing Beach in North Beach? celebrates the F-shaped pier that later became Fisherman's Wharf by examining North Beach with F-tinted glasses. You'll get the general low-down on San Francisco's "Little Italy" by exploring fires, fairs, film, faith, fiction, foreigners, funny folks, famous flashers, food, fashion, and farchitecture, to name a few.
Where's the F-ing Beach in North Beach? is a feast for the senses:
- See one of the City's most famous parks
- Smell San Francisco's most fragrant corner
- Taste free fudge!
- Touch a survivor from the 1906 earthquake
- Hear the history of heroic firemen--and the woman who loved them
This tour travels from scenic Telegraph Hill--you can see Lombard Street and Alcatraz--and then makes its way to a world-class charming neighborhood famous for Italian restaurants and home to the Beats.
North Beach is one of the City's favorite destinations, an authentic neighborhood close to Chinatown, the Financial District, and the inauthentic Fisherman's Wharf. It's packed with bars, coffee shops, and plenty of restaurants. Or just sit back and people-watch; it's fun, festive, and friendly.
What Is Not Included?
Meals are not included in the price of the North Beach tour, but we often stop mid-way for a coffee or snack! Be sure to bring extra cash with you if you're interested in this, and we'll stop if the group is interested.
