We decided to visit Seaport Village Memorial Day weekend to complete the weekend of remembrance for those who have lost their lives in battle and service for the United States. There were so many people visiting Seaport Village today. We approached from the Embarcadero walkway from the north. As we walked up, there is a sign that welcomes you to Seaport Village overhead. It's always very nice to see that. There are new shops and restaurants that are available. I was amazed at how many restaurants Seaport Village Now has. The Mike Hess Brewing is still there. The fish shop is still there and Mr. Moto's pizza is also still there. However, it was great to see that the shorebird had been remodeled and now is open for business over the water on the right hand side of the walkway. The highlight of our visit was walking by and seeing the Zeta restaurant now open on the walkway with views of the waterfront. Please see my review for the Zytoun restaurant. Please keep in mind that right now. Seaport Village is very, very busy with construction. Most of the businesses are still open however, several of them are in a construction area. The businesses over on the east side of Seaport Village before you get to the Sally's restaurant, are affected by the renovations. Spilled the beans coffee and Mike has tasting room are not affected, but foot traffic is affected. The town Square where they normally have music and entertainment is not affected now they have games somewhat like lawn games available in that square area, but the foot traffic is affected by the construction of the Outer building facing the marina. Ther are so many vendors here now. We actually were able to visit an art gallery, walk over the pond bridge, with ducks and pigeons, peruse through so many cute shops, check out all of the food offerings, and just enjoy the beautiful views of the water at the Embarcadero Marina Park while here. This is a wonderful walk, and with the vendors, and other sites, it ends up being an adventure. read more

RELAXED SHOPPING & MARINA VIEWS! Seaport Village is so cozy and charming. Need to show someone around San Diego? Seaport! Want a quick coffee run and walk by the beach? Seaport! Looking for souvenirs and specialty shops? Seaport! Parking is also very affordable and available. I always park here whether I'm visiting a hotel, the park, or Seaport itself. It's a perfect spot for taking a breather and simply enjoying the day! My family and I took a family member who was visiting us for the day. We grabbed some ice cream at Ben & Jerry's, coffee at Spill the Beans, and took a ride on the San Diego seal (a hydro-terra) ride. Seaport Village is a central point in downtown SD. It's not just a tourist attraction, it's so much more. The heart of the marina in SD! read more

What is there not to love about this place? There's a park nearby to relax and have a picnic. Then walk around Seaport Village for a dining and shopping experience. There are so many options for restaurants and amazing stores. The atmosphere is chilled and kick back with beautiful waterfront views. Lots of activities to do and even walk down to visit the USS Midway Museum. So many things to see along the way to entertain yourself. Great place to spend the day with family and friends. read more

I like Seaport Village. Yes it's touristy, but it's set right along San Diego Bay, offers scenic waterfront walkways and an easy stroll to both downtown and the must see Maritime Museum of San Diego. It's a great spot to wander, people-watch, or just enjoy the ocean views. Food options range from waterfront restaurants to casual spots and quick bites. There's also a small pier area where fresh fish is cut on-site for locals--halibut, white seabass, yellowtail, rockfish and mahi-mahi which is sometimes referred to as dolphin or dolphin fish. The fish market is only open on Saturdays. There are benches and some grassy areas that are dog-friendly, there were many dog walkers during our visit. That said, it does come with trade-offs: * It can get very crowded * Food quality is hit or miss * Paid parking is tight and finding a space on the weekends can be difficult Bottom line: A worthwhile stop for the setting and atmosphere--just go in with the right expectations. read more

Very pretty area to walk around & spend a beautiful day. Plenty shops to browse around in & many different spots to eat. The view of the boats & the Coronado bridge is always so pretty and some parts were under construction I'm not too sure when that will be done but it was still manageable as far as getting around and enjoying the day here read more

I love Seaport Village! They have a pay for parking lot. Seaport Village is a dog friendly outdoor shopping and dinning center with plenty of restaurants to choose from. There are several establishments offering sweet treats such as ice cream, doughnuts & more. They have a path that people can walk or bike along with a nice view of the water. There are vendors as well. They have a carousel for kids & parents alike. We loved walking into each store and finding items we love. We will definitely return. read more

Cute place for walk and catching brunch. Lots of place to park and walkable distance to SD coffee shops in the city. Recommend staying in Marriott next to it so you can enjoy the view and don't need to drive a lot. You can rent a bike and bike around too. Make sure stop by the famous lovers monument and also gift shops with unique seaside gifts read more

It is a waterfront shopping and dining center in downtown, and there are multiple constructions going on. I like the paths along the bay with views of the harbor. The downside is the crowd of tourists, and parking rate is steep and it costs $8 per hour. read more

My family and I loved our multiple visits to Seaport Village. We enjoyed long walks, meals, coffee, and sweets in Seaport--always a hit! The spectacular views, sea lions, and abundant birds make it a standout spot. We loved explroing all the small businesses and shops. It's a perfect area to spend a morning or afternoon--very walkable and family-friendly, with plenty to do! There appear to be more shops and/or restaurants coming to Seaport Village, but as it is, it is wonderful to explore. PS: If you're in this area on Saturday's from 8a-1p, the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market is 100% worth a visit! read more

This is a really quaint, cool area to walk, enjoy the scenery, and hang out. They even have a tiny sand area where there are Adirondack wooden chairs with umbrellas to look out over the bay or people watch. People are walking themselves, walking dogs, jogging or rising their bikes on the walkway. There are quite a few places to eat and drink and shop at Seaport Village. read more

We started out at SEAPORT VILLAGE,for a quick visit a chance for a quick outing along the EMBARCADERO!!! WE were not there very long, just one hour. WE went to BEN AND JERRY S ICE CREAM SHOP. As for my partner, He had two scoops of strawberry cheesecake. I had salted carmel. blonde and butter pecan. We then sat in beautiful, tree-filled courtyard, and enjoyed our ice cream!!! We then strolled around awhile and sat on the BIG, WHITE WALL. We took some pictures overlooking the beautiful yachts in the inlet. read more

Seaport Village is near the Convention Center where they have Comic Con, Petco Park and the Gaslamp. Check it out! Happy Yelping :) read more

We arrived late afternoon on a pretty chilly day, but the views were still so gorgeous. There are resteraunts and shops and there is a path along the water that will take you to the USS Midway Museum. If you plan on visiting the museum, make sure you check for discount tickets before arriving. It's $40 at the door. There are so many awesome picture opportunities at this location. The Kissing Sailor Statue is amazing to see at 25 feet tall along with the Bob Hope Tribute. The sun was setting as we walked back and it made for a gorgeous walk. Parking is high in the adjacent lot at $8 an hour and they will charge you for an additional full hour even if you go 10 minutes over. I didn't realize it at the time, but they do validate at the shops. read more

Sunshine and a cute view kind of spot! I'm about a 20-minute walk away, so Seaport Village is my go-to getaway! It overlooks San Diego Bay and has that "vacation energy" even if you're just there for steps, a date, or to entertain visitors. I've been here a handful of times. Enjoyed their hat shops (fun!), souvenir stores, galleries, kite shops, and random boutiques you may have never known existed. Great place to people watch, plus it is easy access to the Embarcadero and the USS Midway area if you want extra sightseeing. Food is decent but pricey. Well, everything is nowadays. You'll find seafood, casual bites, ice cream, and a few sit-down spots with bay views. Nothing fancy, just casual eats. For vegans, they have avocado tacos at Quiero Tacos. They can also modify some items to accommodate your dietary needs. Wish there were more spots in close proximity. This is a tourist trap and can be challenging to find parking. Be prepared for crowds during peak seasons. Tourists = Price increase If you can Uber, walk, or levitate then that's the better option. LOL If I were to plan ahead, I'd visit weekday afternoons for a chill vibe and enjoy the gorgeous sunset and ocean breeze. If you want more lively action, then the weekends are the way to go. Final verdict? Overpriced? Yes. Worth checking out? Absolutely! Especially if you're a noobs in San Diego. It's a solid staple to check out! read more

This is a big tourist trap. It's nice to walk through here but I wished they had more high quality seafood places since it's by the water. They used to have a bigger variety of shops a decade ago. Parking you can find paid parking close by. Great views but they can do so much more. read more

Love this place!!! It's nice by the USS Midway and great place to do some shopping and eat and hang out for a day! There is a lot of parking but it is paid which isn't too bad. It's a great time to spend the day there! Cute little shop that sells good clothing and trinkets (good for gifts). The view is nice too and you can see the bridge as well which is pretty cool! read more

I love that Seaport Village is getting a face lift. Great mix of shops and restaurants right in the bay. I've had great service at most of the shops. I especially love the kite shop It's nice to get some ice cream and walk around. Parking is paid and quite expensive. Nice to sit on the wall and watch the water craft. read more

It's been years since I last visited Seaport Village. I recently stopped by with my cousin, who was visiting California. I thought I would take her to some of the places I used to frequent during my childhood. I still remember when the buildings used to look more brown. It has a more appealing look with its white paint. Against the blue skies, it just looks more attractive. It still has that charm that I remember. I remember walking along the walkway between the shops and bay. These used to be a wall of boulders and stones that separated the walkway from the waters. It's now cemented for a polished white wall. The large fountain that I remember is still there. It still looks maintained and the restrooms are clean. There is a fee to park at Seaport Village. Overall, Seaport Village is a nice spot that's calm and has a relaxing vibe with a view of the bay - and, if you're lucky, you'll spot some naval ships pass by. read more

My boyfriend and I walked here from Little Italy on our first afternoon in San Diego. We had been traveling from the East Coast all day, so we were decidedly rather tired but trying desperately to stay awake until a reasonable hour. We stopped in various shops, including clothing stores and a hat shop, and then sat on the urban beach in Adirondack chairs for a bit. I caught a glimpse of a hummingbird drinking in the classical fountain, which meant good luck for our trip! We also viewed the ducks in the little pond. All in all, Seaport Village served as a nice and peaceful dose of retail therapy. read more

Wow, 8 years since my last review? Time for an update. This is obviously a touristy area, but as such areas go, it's cute with a range of types of shops and some decent places to eat. On this trip we were burning some time before dinner and enjoyed browsing some shops. I ended up buying some fun socks from a shop completely dedicated to socks. Again, it's a cute shopping area. The harbor view is nice as well. read more

I've always loved coming to Seaport Village, even as a kid with my parents. While things have changed over the years many things have stayed the same. This trip we spent most of our time in the Chuck Jones art gallery, the brewery nearby and the surf company shop but you can't beat the views and seeing the Navy ships. There are of course many food options and things to explore. My biggest annoyance is the parking sometimes it can take a while to find one on top of paying it can be frustrating. This go round we parked all the way down by the park, which of course is still paid parking if you're looking for souvenirs Seaport village is always a great stop. Prices of course vary depending on what shop or restaurant you're in so I can't really give you cost ideas. It depends on what you're into service was friendly and the places we did go and I definitely go back to those. read more

There is a ton to like about Seaport Village!! Staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel, Seaport Village was literally outside of the back end of the hotel, so we were walking through here daily!! Plenty of restaurants, but most are a grab and go style, and souvenir shops!! There was also live music here a few times. And being along the Embarcadero, you have the Embarcadero North Park right there, if you want to catch some views of the Bay!! read more

Honestly, this is one of the most underrated spots in San Diego. I cannot speak for how beautiful and chill this spot is. It's definitely a must visit spot whenever visiting San Diego. Although it can get crowded, it's a very nice scenic walk along the coast especially during sunset times. Many come here to exercise all day long, but it's mostly tourist and locals, very beautiful overall. There's plenty of dining options here which is perfect for after shopping around a bit. Plenty of souvenir and clothing stores that are all worthy of checking out. The options are endless. On top of restaurants, there's ice cream, and snack shops to compliment and there's also a carousel ride, perfect for kids. Parking here is a bit situational, you can either park on the street but it's very compact and always full or you can park in a dedicated lot, paid of course. Can get super busy at times so plan accordingly. Overall, a wonderful spot that you can explore, some overpriced places but certainly a spot to check out at least once. Love the chill vibes and scenic ocean vibes. read more

Seaport Village is super close to the main cluster of hotels area in downtown San Diego (about a 15 minute walk from the Intercontinental). It is pretty cool walking there as you will see a bunch of boats, the airplane museum on top of a massive boat, street merchants, and other things. The Seaport Village itself isn't much more than a tourist attraction with mediocre food, cheaply made expensive souvenirs, and that's pretty much it. If you're a tourist and ok with tourist-y stuff, this place may be of interest to you. read more

10-26-2025 Another sunny day in San Diego. I went out to enjoy sounding music by Hank Easton, danced away for 2 hours with my beautiful friend and savored chicken tacos in red hot salsa. What a joyful Sunday afternoon! Note: Look for the 3 Hour Parking Limit pay meters. It's only $2.50 per hour cheaper than below. On-site parking fee Non validated: $8 per hour Validated (with a minimum $10 purchase): * Monday-Thursday: $5 for the first 3 hours; $3 for every 30 minutes or part thereof after that. * Friday-Sunday: $5 for the first 2 hours; $3 for every 30 minutes or part thereof after that. read more

This is an OK way to kill a bit of time while visiting San Diego but was nothing too amazing. There are a lot of parking options nearby but be sure to pay at the parking kiosk. There are a variety of shops here, but a lot of them are mostly generic t-shirts and souvenirs (magnets, etc). We did find one cool candy store that had some unique items. It would be cooler if there were some local and unique small businesses here. There are some cool looking local eateries that we might want to return and try, though. You can stroll around and get a view of San Diego and the harbor and the nearby ships which is cool, and there are some ducks in the waterways that wind through the village as well. Overall, this is an ok place to kill some time but seems to be a bit of a tourist trap. read more

I've been to SD so many times and no one has ever mentioned this place. I love it. It's a super cute shopping village. They have two paid parking areas to which you can get validated if you shop or eat. There is a great view of the harbor and a little pond with different birds to watch. Interesting looking birds, at that. Wanna play chess or connect 4? Have at it... giant ones to mess with. They even have a carousel. Lots of great shops and restaurants! It's super close to the airport, so if you have a later flight and not sure where to go, what to do, this place is perfect. read more

Great place to get your steps in or explore Sea Port village. It's very beautiful place and especially at night and during the holidays. So many shops to explore, sometimes you get to see sea creatures. Plenty of restrooms around the area. Parking is limited and can be hectic during holidays and weekends. They have a food court area and some brewery. Overall friendly staff from every shop and restaurant I visited. If you buy something from the shops, they vouch your parking ticket. read more

Seaport village is a tourist attraction in downtown San Diego, on the water. Definitely a good place for visitors and I have taken plenty of friends and family here to check it out to get a taste of San Diego. There are shops and restaurants, plenty to choose from and there is also a carousel for kids. There are nearby parks and walkways to go explore. Parking can be a pain on super crowded days, but if you park in the lot you can get it validated with a purchase. There is also metered parking. read more

Seaport Village is a must if you are a tourist visiting San Diego. It has a lot of amazing places to eat and a ton of shops if you're looking for souvenirs. The parking is tight just because it is a busy area. It can also get expensive quick however, many places offer a parking validation. So I would ask if you choose to eat anywhere. We also parked here and then walked to the ferry port and rode the ferry to Coronado. The walk wasn't bad and it was paved. You walked along the boat yard. It was cute. This is a busy location, but definitely a must see. read more

Seaport village is on the water and has gorgeous views. It is a destination with tons of shopping and eating options. I was not sure where it was but as we walked the waterfront we literally stumbled upon it. It's all tourist oriented but that is fine. You can buy souvenirs, t-shirts, hot sauces, clothes, toys, and I saw a sock store. There are different eating options (pizza, Mexican; ice cream). There is carousel that in November 2025 cost $5 for 6 minutes. A really nice sit down restaurant is Malibu Farms (separate review). The restaurant will validate your parking which is otherwise paid parking. You can easily spend 2-3 hours in the village as a leisurely stroll from shop to shop. There is a bar with craft beers when you are done strolling. Overall, a very enjoyable experience with killer views of the water. read more

We don't visit Seaport Village often, but when we do, we always love it. Always something fun and interesting to be found. Interesting shops from kites to unique t-shirts to a shop dedicated to hot sauce and everything in between. Restaurants galore. Something for everyone. Dine in at one of sit-down restaurants of grab 'n go and find a table on the spacious patio. Maybe take that to-go order to the Embarcadero Marina North a short walk away and enjoy a picnic. Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong. You don't have to be a tourist to enjoy Seaport Village. read more

Seaport Village is an outdoor area with a mix of shops and restaurants. Located along the coast so it's a beautiful place to spend the day. We came here off our cruise ship and it was only a 15 -20 minute walk. Lots of places to eat and a good amount of shops/businesses to visit and shop. There's a good amount of ducks around the man made pond, so watch for duck poop on the floor. Worth a visit if you're in the area. read more
