Waterfront guide
Discover Fisherman's Landing & Point Loma Harbor
Charter boats, sportfishing fleets, and the working waterfront of Point Loma — and where to grab a drink when the boat ties up.
Fisherman's Landing on Point Loma is the real working waterfront of San Diego — sportfishing fleets, half-day charters, multi-day tuna runs, and the smell of bait and diesel that means you're in the right place. It's a few minutes' walk from Harbor Town Pub.
What's at Fisherman's Landing
- Sportfishing charters — half-day, full-day, overnight, multi-day
- The deli and tackle shop on the dock
- Bait barge offshore
- Direct access to the bay and the open Pacific
It shares the harbor with H&M Landing and Point Loma Sportfishing next door — together they make up one of the largest sportfishing fleets on the West Coast.
Where to drink and eat after the boat
The dock has its own small deli, but for a real sit-down meal locals walk or drive five minutes up Rosecrans. The neighborhood pub of choice for crews coming off the boats is Harbor Town Pub — burgers, cold beer, a patio for the dog, and zero pretense about your fish-smelling hoodie.
What to do nearby
- Shelter Island — five minutes north. See best bars near Shelter Island.
- Point Loma Seafoods — iconic counter-service spot at the foot of the marina.
- Liberty Station — ten minutes the other way, more shops and restaurants.
- Cabrillo National Monument — at the tip of the peninsula, worth the drive on a clear day.
The local move
Off the boat at 3pm, walk up to Harbor Town for happy hour. The whole thing — boat to bar stool to first beer — takes under fifteen minutes. That's why crews and charter captains end up here.
