Pier 39 in Tiburon is a bustling waterfront destination where visitors can enjoy shopping, dining, and watching hundreds of sea lions that have made the pier their home. The sea lions, which arrived after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, are the main attraction, often seen lounging and vocalizing on wooden platforms. The pier also offers scenic views of the bay and easy access to other Tiburon attractions.
