 | |  |  | Seaport Village: Quaint but touristy and expensive | |  |  | |  |
If you're planning on going to Seaport Village, be prepared for 100's of other tourists that will be there too. It reminds me of the duty-free shopping area in St. Thomas - which was built for tourists and packed with visor-wearing sun-seekers. Not that Seaport isn't worth a village. There are a few great palces to eat, including a Greek taverna with gyros, salads and other yummy Greek food. Most shops sell SD merchandise - t-shirts, mugs, postcards - though be prepared to pay more than you would elsewher in SD. I noticed that prices were hiked up because it's such a tourist mecca.
For free, sit down and relax in the park-like area, away from the shops. You can look at the yachts moored here, or look over to Coronado. A very pretty view. DON'T BE put off by the homeless people sleeping in the park. I've fallen asleep sunbathing here many times and not been bothered once. In fact, the noisy tourists are more urksome than the sleeping homeless.
Enjoy the views, take a deep breath and don't be sucked into all the quaint shops, where you'll inevitably end up paying more for something than you should have. An alternative? This is something you should experience as it's not unpleasant if you accept it's a tourist trap! Leave a Comment
