Cosy and a little fake atmosphere in Seaport Village. But the restaurants are good, and if you like fish, go there.

It's nice to be outside & be able to enjoy the beautiful weather, maybe relax & have a drink. But once you've walked the area that's... More

There are mainly lots of little shops that have odd souvenirs to sell. I love looking at shops but I can't recall ever... More

One visit to the San Diego Seaport is enough in one's lifetime. It has great views and a quaint atmosphere. However, all the restaurants are mediocre at best, and the shops all sell overpriced trinkets....

This shopping area is just a wonderful place to enjoy San Diego sights and sounds. We love the outdoor music and the pleasant small shops as well as the views from the pathways between all the shops.

The village is kind of a tourist place, but, it is very cool to just walk around and have lunch and enjoy the weather. The shops are typical tourist, but whatevr, you are a tourist after all. Nice places to eat with view of harbor.

I can never find parking when I try to visit Seaport Village. It is one of the busiest tourist spots downtown near the water.

There are many reasons to visit Seaport Village. To mention a few: the 4 restaurants, the many neat shops, the view, the merry-go-round, the ambiance..... It's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon or any other time for that matter.
