Explore The Wharf
Bedste tid at besøge
Late afternoon through evening from May to September catches the best weather, live music at Transit Pier, and golden-hour light across the marina.
Budgettips
No entry fee for the boardwalk or parks. The Municipal Fish Market sells affordable whole crabs and shrimp by the pound (cash preferred), and happy hour deals at several pier restaurants run 4-6 PM on weekdays.

Om
Hurtige fakta: The Wharf strækker sig næsten en mil langs DC's sydvestlige vandfront og åbnede i 2017 som et genudviklingsprojekt til 2,5 milliarder dollars. Dets moler huser over 1.200 både årligt, fra historiske skonnerter til yachter, plus et flydende koncertsted, der duver med Potomacs tidevand.
Højdepunkter: På sommeraftener lyser Municipal Fish Market ved kanten af The Wharf under julelys, mens fiskere sælger dagens fangst på samme måde, som de har gjort siden 1805, hvilket gør det til det ældste uafbrudt drevne fiskemarked i USA. Du kan købe frisk krabbe direkte fra båden og så gå 20 fod til picnicborde med udsigt over vandet, hvor måger kredser og sælgere åbner østers efter bestilling.
Insidertips
- Bring cash if you plan to buy from the fish market, many vendors don't accept cards.
- Head to the rooftop bar at Hotel Washington for a stunning free view of the Wharf and marina from above.
- Arrive before 5 PM on weekends to snag a table at waterfront restaurants before the dinner rush.
- Skip the overpriced tourist boats and rent a $30 kayak from Boating in DC for a self-guided paddle around the piers.
