• If you move right.. You are going to move in the maze of fishing piers and boats in the "back-harbors" of the famous restaurants.

• At Nonna Rose and Seafood trattoria you can turn left. You'll see a little pier. At the end of this pier there are views of Pier 45 and Castagnola's restaurant, fishing boats, and Alioto's and Tarantino's restaurants. But if you do not go there, and turn left instead, and then left again, you'll turn out to be at Jefferson heading east. You will be able to walk in the row of infinite crab and seafood shops, see the main Fisherman's Wharf sign, pass Fishermen's Grotto No.9, get to Bay Cruise and Ferry Terminal of Red and White Fleet, and continue north to east part of Pier 45 or east toward Pier 41.

• If at Nonna Rose you continue forward, you'll get to the "back-pier" of Fishermen's Grotto No.9. Continuing forward brings you to a tiny chapel. This is the "Fishermen's and seamen's memorial chapel". Continuing forward brings you to west part of Pier 45 where you can see kayaks in the bay, Anna Marie fishing boat, Maritime museum pier view, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz.
