Discover Seaport Village: A Waterfront Shopping and Dining Haven

About Seaport Village

If you want to spend the afternoon watching ships float in and out of the harbor while sipping coffee or shopping for souvenirs, Seaport Village is the place to go. Located on the San Diego waterfront near the USS Midway Museum and the convention center, the 14-acre village is home to more than 50 shops, 13 casual dining outlets, and four fine dining restaurants.

Shopping and Dining Experience

Even if you aren't particularly fond of shopping, you'll still enjoy strolling the 4 miles of cobblestone paths winding through the sunny outdoor complex. It’s an excellent spot for both leisurely walks and retail therapy.

If you're looking for panoramic sea views, grab a bite at Edgewater Grill. And at the end of the day, Seaport Village is a great place to watch the sun set over the Pacific.

Entertainment and Events

Seaport Village is also a popular entertainment venue. If you're visiting San Diego in March, don't miss Busker Fest – a free event showcasing street performers from all over the globe. Additionally, there is live music every weekend on stages in the Carousel and Lighthouse districts.

Moreover, Seaport Village serves as the starting point for one of the best California tours within San Diego: the San Diego Seal Tour.

Hours and Admission

Seaport Village is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., though individual businesses’ hours of operation may vary. Standard self-parking is $8 per hour. Seaport Village is also within walking distance of many popular downtown hotels and a short drive from the cruise ship terminal.
