Creator's Key Takeaways

I grew up born and raised in San Diego and it's one of my favorite places to come as a kid.

I generally find the better the view, the worse the food.

This is San Diego's coolest concert venue in my opinion.

Most people describe the food as entirely mediocre. You have been warned.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Expect to pay about $2.50 an hour if you park out on the public streets.
βœ“Check the signs for parking validation schemes at Seaport Village.
βœ“If you're looking for a family-friendly hotel with big rooms, consider Embassy Suites.
βœ“Do not rent an electric bike for the bayfront sidewalk; only pedal-powered bicycles are allowed.
βœ“Take a picture of your license plate for parking meter payment.
