San Diego Bay
It was 1542 when the first Europeans landed in California near the south end of Point Loma. That landing point is marked by Cabrillo National Monument. Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo and his crew must have been amazed with the beauty of the views across San Diego Bay. This natural harbor, 12 miles long and 3 miles wide at its widest point is one of the most impressive harbors in the US encompassing 22 square miles and 34 miles of scenic waterfront. Today the Bay is a thriving hub of activity, entertainment, recreation, and adventurous vacation wonderland. Beginning at Point Loma and making its way from Shelter Island, Harbor Island, the cruise ship terminals, the floating collection historic ships at the San Diego Maritime Museum, the USS Midway, the largest aircraft carrier museum and down the Embarcadero, the San Diego Bay is an indeed an impressive place to spend an enjoyable time in San Diego, California. A concrete boardwalk connects the attractions with a growing collection of public art as vacationers and tourist stroll, jog or cycle along the bayside.
