Create an itinerary including San Diego Bay Walk
Take an easy walk that winds through downtown and the city's waterfront area along San Diego Bay Walk. The scenic stroll offers a taste of the city's mix of stunning nature and urban edge. Begin a self-guided tour of the bay at Broadway Pier (where you can also stock up on gifts at the souvenir shops). Head north to find the terminal where most cruise ships launch, surrounded by fish shops and restaurants. Here, consider taking a tour of the Star of India, a mast ship from 1863. Heading south from Broadway Pier, you come across Navy Pier, where Navy ships often dock and welcome visitors on free tours.

  • It was our last day in San Diego and we didn't have anything specific planned so we went here. It's a nice shopping area right on the water. It was a Saturday, so there were lots of vendors set up.....  more

  • Stroll along and admire all the boats and ships, and tour the USS Midway Museum. Great location. Go visit Little Italy afterwards, a few blocks away.

  • Cruising into San Diego Bay on Sapphire Princess. Loved this Cruise. Wife and I had a wonderful Time in San Diego and on the rest of Cruise
  • One of the best tour in San Diego is by boat in the bay area. Fantastic!
  • Visiting a relative who lives on San Diego Bay off Bessamer Path. Enjoying my “room w a view.” A beautiful place! ♥️♥️♥️
  • Very chill and relaxed harbor at the San Diego Bay. Nice to hang out or even have lunch along the bay.
  • It was fine to check in and stay a day or two to get provisions to continue our trip up the coast. But our neighbors on the city dock were very ?? Alcohol involved excessively. Bathrooms we're fine ,didn't utilize the shower. Cab was around 20$ to the grocery store one way. No restaurant in walking distance that's not spendy . We ate at the Blue Wave and it was about 40$ for 2 for breakfast.
