Lots to see walking around the Embarcadero. Anthony's Fish Grotto is there, Star of India ship and other antique ships there, sculptures, people watching and great water views.

Although this is a "walking tour," it is filled with great sight, excitement and lots of "off the walking path" activities. You got cash? Improve your rating!

What with all the cruise ships docking in San Diego, this place can get really crowded. But--there's A LOT to see and do. Almost a must-see for tourists coming to San Diego.
