The Big Bay — San Diego's biggest attraction — offers 34 miles of scenic waterfront dotted with restaurants, shops, attractions, parks and marinas. Shelter Island is San Diego's Hawaiian isle, offering music, art and dining set in an island-like setting across the Bay from downtown San Diego's breath-taking skyline. And like Hawaii, visitors can savor sunny days, starlit nights, majestic palm trees swaying in the sea breeze and the "Aloha Spirit" of hospitality.

More information on Shelter Island dining and other Big Bay attractions can be found at thebigbay.com.

The Port of San Diego was formed in 1962 by an act of the California State legislature to take a regional approach to managing San Diego Bay and its waterfront. The Port's member cities are Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach, National City and San Diego. Today the Port carries out its mission by serving as an environmental steward for San Diego Bay, an economic engine for the region, a provider of community services and amenities such as public art, parks, and community events that open the waterfront to everyone; and a leader in public safety and homeland security.
