PARKING TIPS FOR FISHERMAN'S WHARF
(Public Transportation Recommended)

The main parking garages are listed below: (We are checking with garages for discounted rates for participants - check back in early March):

• 655 Beach Street Garage - American Academy of Ophthalmology: special $9.00 flat rate, must show bib # & exit by 1 PM or normal rates apply from time of entry.

• Ghirardelli Square: special $10.00 flat rate, must pay at the garage paystations on level 6 or Plaza level before returning to car and exit by 1 PM or normal rates apply from time of entry.

• The Anchorage: special $10.00 flat rate, must pay Cashier as you exit; there will be no refunds if you pay your parking charges through automatic Paystation - must show bib # and exit by 1 PM or normal rates apply from time of entry.

• The Sheraton at Fisherman’s Wharf: $10.00 flat rate, must be out by 5 PM or normal rates apply from time of entry.

• Pier 39: normal rates apply

Street parking: a few blocks south or west of the Wharf, is particularly good option on Sundays, when the 2-hour limit on unmetered residential parking does not apply, however make sure you read all parking signs to make sure of any limits or rules. Parking meters operate seven days a week, and the fines for over parking either at meters or in the two-hour zones are expensive!
