"Beautiful area full of history and mystique. I was there on a foggy morning so it adding a lot of spooky coast ambience. There was an island of sea lions behind the ship that were entertaining to watch as well. Lots of dock traffic and I think there were some places to eat around there. I was distracted by the sights!"
