SEAPORT VILLAGE HIGHLIGHTS
Opening in 1980, Seaport Village is a magical collection of specialty stores, restaurants, open plazas, and a boardwalk, all set in century-old Spanish architecture, on the San Diego Bay waterfront embarcadero.
Visitors of Seaport Village can enjoy live musical entertainment including blues, jazz, country and swing, as well as street performers, caricaturists, face painters, balloon sculptors, and oriental brush artists. Attractions include 54 specialty shops, 13 dining eateries, four fine dining waterfront restaurants, and a fully-restored 1895 antique carousel with hand carved animals by Charles Loof. People can eat outside and watch the boats and ships on the bay, while enjoying the nice weather. They can also stroll along the embarcadero, which connects the village with other points of interest.
Seaport Village is conveniently located just north of the San Diego Convention Center and south of Tuna Harbor, USS Midway Museum, and the San Diego Maritime Museum. From the Embarcadero you can catch a water taxi or a bike taxi.
Other nearby attractions include Embarcadero Marina Park South, Embarcadero Marina Park North, downtown San Diego, Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, and the lively Gaslamp District.
Parking
Seaport Village has a large parking lot. You'll have to pay by the hour. However, with a validated ticket from a Seaport Village business, the first two hours are free. As expected, the parking lot is more crowded on weekends, and during Summer and holidays.
