Start your morning off on the Embarcadero at the corner of Ash Street and North Harbor Drive. The hard-to-miss windjammer moored at the dock is the Star of India, the world's oldest floating merchant ship. The ship is part of the San Diego Maritime Museum. Also located along the Embarcadero is the New England-style Seaport Village, a waterfront spread encompassing 75 specialty shops, restaurants, a working 1890s Looff Carousel, and free entertainment from musicians, mimes and magicians. Slightly east of Seaport Village, the historic Gaslamp Quarter, highlighted by gas street lamps and Victorian-style buildings, draws countless tourists and locals. Covering 16 blocks between Fourth and Sixth avenues, and between L Street and Broadway, the Gaslamp Quarter was redeveloped in the 1970s, and now hosts some of San Diego's finest restaurants and liveliest nightclubs. You can tour the district on foot, by trolley, pedicab or horse-drawn carriage. After visiting the downtown San Diego attractions, take the ferry from Broadway Pier or drive across the arching, 2.2 mile-long San Diego-Coronado Bridge to Coronado, a beautiful resort community boasting some of the most exclusive homes, boutiques and restaurants in San Diego. If you take the ferry, you will disembark at the Ferry Landing Marketplace. From here catch a shuttle bus that will take you to the town's main tourist drag, Orange Avenue, anchored at its southern end by the Hotel del Coronado.
