Bitcoin Wallet on Mac OS X located in ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat

EDIT: Mac OSX Lion came out and it has ~/Library folder hidden, see the answer from chilled35 to access it with Finder.

In order to see hidden folders, such as ~/Library from Finder, simply hit shift + ⌘ (command) + G which will GO to a folder, then paste in this location:

~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin

From there, you will see all the files associated with your wallet.

hmm, I discovered I can see it in terminal, but not in Finder. – makerofthings7 Sep 16 '12 at 2:49

Having moved all my BTC to another location, I recovered more than 5 GB of storage space by deleting my local wallet.
