San Diego Bay

San Diego`s large bay has military, commercial and recreational uses. This large bay is lined with docks, restaurants and hotels. You will see all types and sizes of boats on the bay all year. There are so many places to stop and enjoy the scenery along the bay from Point Loma to San Diego to Chula Vista to Coronado. We are lucky to have parks and beaches on both sides of the bay. A favorite tourist spot is Seaport Village but just across the bay is Old Ferry Landing Marketplace in Coronado. This quaint shopping village has many interesting shops and restaurants, free parking and many wonderful spots to spend an hour or a day. The view across the bay of the San Diego City skyline is always interesting and changing. You can take a ferry to the other side for a small fee and enjoy the calm waters. This is another of San Diego`s treasures that can be used all year with many different points of interest along the waterfront. Enjoy!

San Diego Wooden Boat Festival

June 16 and 17, 2012 marked the 22nd anniversary of the San Diego Wooden Boat Festival at Shelter Island. The event is held at the Koehler Kraft Shipyard just across Shelter Island Drive from Humphreys Half Moon Inn. Koehler Kraft is a working shipyard so there are boat materials and various boats in all stages of manufacture and repair. There was food, music and wooden boats of all types. This is a fun event and all proceeds go to benefit Challenged America. If you like beautiful boats in a beautiful setting you should attend this fun festival. Enjoy!
