Port Pavilion
The Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier is a cruise ship terminal, an event venue, a public gathering space and a scenic viewpoint of San Diego Bay ideally situated on the Embarcadero. This flexible space honors the water through its artistic design and environmentally-friendly features, welcomes residents and visitors to our dynamic waterfront, and promises a vibrant and eco-conscious experience for all. Cruise in or out and back again. Host an event for family, colleagues or friends, have a beautiful bayfront wedding or, just sit back, relax and watch the ships roll in and out against the backdrop of the setting San Diego sun.
