Description: We were looking for a place to eat in one of the San Diego visitor magazines and stumbled across an ad for a restaurant at Seaport Village. It sounded like a nice place next to the water so we decided to go. Of course when we arrived to a parking lot full of cars, we realized that we weren’t the only people here.
Seaport Village is a busy shopping center surrounded by the San Diego Bay with lush trees and beautiful scenery. The Village has over 50 unique shops and several restaurants to choose from. Along the bay there is a boardwalk that stretches a quarter of a mile.
Seaport Village first opened in 1980. The interesting history behind it is that it is built over a landfill that buried those who died of scurvy from the Spanish expedition of 1782. The area was then named Punta de los Muertos (Point of the Dead). The location may seem a little eerie but it doesn’t seem to bother the visitors.
This is a great place at which to relax and walk around while taking in the beautiful San Diego scenery. The next time that I visit San Diego, Seaport Village will definitely be one of the top destinations on my list to revisit.
