Pier 30

What can we say? It's a parking lot. But, it's a parking lot with one heck of a view. And once in a while it serves (as all great parking lots do) as a staging area for large-scale events -- the starting point of a marathon, a beach volleyball competition, the Warped Tour, and even the occasional beer fest. Once upon a time it was very nearly the site of the new Golden State Warriors arena; but some things aren't meant to be, and so it remains one of the world's most beautiful parking lots.
