South San Francisco Ferry Terminal
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
San Mateo County's only operating ferry terminal. Boats are labeled San Francisco Bay Ferry. Construction began in 2009[1] and ferry service started on June 4, 2012. While ferry service between San Francisco and ports to the south existed as far south as San Jose/Alviso during the 1800s,[2] the service was no longer needed once the San Francisco-San Jose railroad was built as part of the transcontinental railway. This is the first ferry terminal built south of San Francisco in several generations. The Oyster Point Marina land is owned by the City of South San Francisco. The SMC Harbor District has a joint powers agreement with the City of SSF.
