San Diego Bay is the “birthplace of San Diego.” On his search for a northwestern Pacific-to-Atlantic passage, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo set anchor in San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542.

San Diego Bay has 34 miles of scenic waterfront dotted with restaurants, shops, hotels, attractions, parks and marinas that reside in seven distinct areas. Each lends unique ingredients to the overall flavor and character of the waterfront on the Big Bay®. Whether you spend an entire day exploring all seven areas or enjoy each one individually, there is something for every taste and budget.

The Big Bay promises entertainment and adventure for the entire family from Point Loma, along Harbor Drive, across the Bay to Coronado, south to the shores of National City, Chula Vista and Imperial Beach. Visit all the attractions and shops, and enjoy the best in San Diego dining, all set against the Bay's spectacular views. The area's beauty is accented by a growing collection of public art, scenic parks and miles of paths for walking, jogging and cycling.

We guarantee that when you visit any of the seven areas that are part of San Diego’s Waterfront, you’ll be sure to say, “This is a good day.”
