Embarcadero

The Embarcadero in San Diego, California is at the east side harbor of San Diego Bay. Embarcadero means "landing place". The Port of San Diego manages the port and downtown San Diego. The Embarcadero is a cruise ship terminal for western cruises to Mexico and up to Alaska. Also at the Embarcadero are the USS Midway Museum, Star of India, and other historical vessels that are all part of the San Diego Maritime Museum. Several restaurants and shops can be found in the northern section of the landing place at Seaport Village.

In recent months a redevelopment of the Broadway Pier has been ongoing to help create a section pier and terminal for the cruise ships that come in. Embarcadero Circle has worked to reform Broadway and Harbor Drive as well. A 27 story Marriott Hotel with 500 rooms and a Ritz Carlton with 250 rooms have been built on the circle to create part of the Navy Broadway Complex. There are more plans for redevelopment to help increase the beauty and functionality of the area. It did take some time for the current plans to pass since the proposal required several million dollars and a grassy park. The park has been removed from the plans.
