Found this to be a surprise attraction with the star of india clipper moored along with the ship that was featured in the film Master & Commander. Also the us navy training aircraft carrier and the interesting small park with the tribute to Bob Hope figures. Very clean open air type city.This was a break from the hectic city of... More

Highly recommend taking this. You get amazing views, got to watch sailboats while we had lunch. Interesting street performers and various shops. Food was pretty good too. It was nice to take a leisurely walk and see everything seaport village has to offer.

Lots variety shops, restaurants, and a beautiful harbor! Take a bike ride, while someone else does the peddling, great art galleries, ice cream& music! Close to USS Midway and the kissing statue and Bob Hope Memorial.

One of the better ocean front walks. Fun. Restaurants are sporadic and scattered far enough to be pleasant when found, attractions are many and the usual crowd of beach people are fun.

This is a bustling walkway for locals and tourists alike. Good for running or biking with a portion of the sidewalk dedicated for this. Wide walkway. Great views of the bay.

Basically, this is a concrete path that starts at a hotel, passes through a harbor, along through Seaport Village, and then along the harbor to the USS Midway and beyond. Go for a walk, enjoy the sun!

This is a gorgeous area -- I'd love to return! The harbor area has views of the ocean and Coronado Island. There are thousands of boats moored at the harbor, along with the Midway aircraft carrier museum. We enjoyed seeing the Greatest Generation park/statues and memorial to Bob Hope. We ate breakfast at a cafe right on the water, and... More

You can catch the water front and enjoy the market in the same one easy stop. If you enjoy strolling in and out of small shops surround by a gated parking lot this is it. Buy a sandwich and get your parking costs cut to a dollar. You can also walk down to the USS Midway from here with a... More

The walk, jog or bike around Mission Bay is a great way to unwind in an uncrowded atmosphere. While it lacks the vibe of the beachside boardwalk, it also lacks the crowds. Very highly recommended, whether staying in the area or just visiting.
