Why Experiences Matter
From the Port of San Diego
One of the main functions of the Port of San Diego is to connect California residents and visitors with the beautiful San Diego Bay. Our Port accomplishes this by providing a wide range of experiences and attractions for all to enjoy. That is why we are always looking for new opportunities and projects, like the Bay to Park Paseo walking experience, to help us fulfill that purpose.
Port of San Diego Experiences includes over 100 tenant restaurants, 18 hotels, 5 public piers, multiple marinas, 9 museums and attractions, 22 public parks, and over 70+ public artwork installations. Make a day out of your Bay to Park Paseo experience. Within walking distance of the Paseo are Seaport Village, The Midway Museum, Portside Pier, the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, several open park spaces, and so much more.

A Milestone Year
This year marks the 75th Anniversary of Architects Mosher Drew (AMD). The firm was founded in 1948 in a small office space in the Green Dragon Colony (La Jolla), where Robert Mosher and Roy Drew brought to San Diego the style of humanist modernism and started a dialogue about the architectural vision of the city. They have authored numerous landmark projects that have shaped the skyline of San Diego and the Southern California region.
