Marina District Part 3: Bay Breezes and Modern Charm
From its waterfront trails to its lively Chestnut Street, the Marina District captures San Francisco’s balance of beauty, history, and community. Stroll Crissy Field, explore Fort Mason, dine along the Bay, and end the day watching the Palace of Fine Arts glow at sunset—a neighborhood that proves reinvention can be timeless.
Marina District Part 2: Quakes and Rebirth
The Marina’s beauty hides a risky foundation. Built on landfill from the 1906 earthquake, the neighborhood faced disaster again during the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. Buildings fell, fires burned, and resilience took root. What rose from the rubble is a stronger, safer, and prouder Marina District.
Marina District Part 1: From Bay Waters to a World’s Fair
Before it became one of San Francisco’s most coveted neighborhoods, the Marina was underwater — a tidal marsh turned into the grand stage for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. From earthquake rubble rose the Palace of Fine Arts and the foundation for a new chapter in The City’s history.
