    A view from the bay.

    Seaport Village was developed many years ago, one of the first efforts to revitalize the downtown area. Some San Diegians think this is a tourist trap, but there is so much to see and do and many of the shops offer very unique items that I can't see this as a tourist trap at all.

    There are three sections and each are designed in historical California styles, Old Monterey, Victorian San Francisco and traditional Mexico. Housed in these lovely little buildings are more than 50 shops, many of them offfer one-of-a-kind items that aren't found in regular stores. There are almost twenty places to choose to have a meal ranging from inexpensive to expensive, even a place to buy the makings for a picnic lunch at the Embarcadero

    A couple of really nice hotels have grown up next to Seaport Village. The Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, which has a fantastic lounge on the 40th floor offering a view of the city and bay that is awesome and well worth the price ($8.00-$10.00) of a drink! The Marriot Hotel is just next to the San Diego Convention Center and has it's own marina. These hotels can be pretty expensive if you're not coming here on business with all hotel expenses paid, but their restaurants and lounges are open to the public and worth a visit.

    Just behind Seaport Village is the Embarcadero Marina Park North. It is a great park for flying kites, having a picnic along the bay or just taking a stroll.

    So, no matter your budget, Seaport has something to offer, and I haven't even mentioned free entertainment!

    Staying in downtown San Diego? Looking for a place to relax, stroll by shops, walk the boardwalk along the San Diego Bay, have a bite to eat, listen to some music, or ride a 1895 Loof hand carved carousel? Many questions with one answer. Seaport Village should be your destination.

    Seaport Village is a facsimile of an early harbor side setting that has the tourists coming in droves to walk the boardwalk to view the bay or have a power lunch in one of the 4 fine dining restaurants after a morning at the Convention Center. Many locals and tourists alike take a ride on the beautiful original carousel. Some come for the unique shops to find that gift for the folks back home. Even if you do any or all of this or none at all, you have a place to relax on a bench watching a fountain or the bay or maybe even just be a people watcher. Seaport Village has it all and it is easy to get to and easy to park.

    Located right on San Diego Bay, this downtown entertainment and shopping complex features cobblestone paths and fine dining establishments (500 parking spaces in the outdoor pay lot where you can park free for two hours with any purchase, then it's $3 per hour thereafter).

    This is a nice place to stroll, eat, shop and just enjoy life while in San Diego, but the stores are only open from 10:00 a.m. - 9:00p.m. (restaurants are open a bit later). Be careful on days when the cruise ship is in as prices may jump up a bit. l pay for the view.

    We planned on a couple of hours for Seaport Village and the Marina. If you came to San Diego to shop, this area is a "don't-miss." If not, it is still a pleasant place to stroll along the marina, dine, enjoy an open-air cappuccino or bagel.

    Seaport Village is beautiful during the day as well as at night. It is adjacent to Embarcadero Park North and a easy walking distance from many of the hotels downtown. Seaport Village has cobblestone pathways that lead you around the village of shops, restaurants and San Diego bay. For the kids there is a 1895 Antique carousel within the village and horse drawn carriage rides.

    Also in the Seaport Village area was this large basin where many yachts were docked, right beside the tourist shopping area.

    One of the Trolley-tour stops included the Seaport Village area along the San Diego harbour waterfront. This is an area of shops and restaurants located close to the cruise ship docking wharfs.

    Spend some time around Embarcadero Marina and Seaport Village. Pleasant walks along the seafront, some of the shops are pretty touristy, but there is plenty there to keep anyone interested.
    Then maybe walk a little along N Harbor Drive, past the fishing fleet, and take a short harbor cruise. San Diego is home to a large part of the US Navy. We saw several ships including a huge aircraft carrier.
