Port of San Diego Marine Terminals
The Tenth Avenue and National City marine terminals are part of the Port’s working waterfront, which generates billions of dollars annually for San Diego's regional economy.
Cruise ships entering San Diego Bay dock at the B Street Cruise Terminal or the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier along the Embarcadero. The Embarcadero is a two-mile stretch of waterfront in downtown San Diego that offers dining, shopping, lodging, museums and attractions.
