You step off the coach into a wind that smells like salt, polished brass, and citrus—San Diego’s downtown harbor daring you to look up at the carrier’s flight deck and out across a wide Pacific bay. The day unfolds with Old Town’s adobe blocks and mariachi calls, a harbor cruise that circles naval anchors and skyline glass, the cavernous metal of the USS Midway, and finally the open lawns and ornate façades of Balboa Park.

The coach and many outdoor public areas are accessible, but the USS Midway has areas with steep gangways and limited accessibility; check with the operator for accommodations and alternate routes within the museum.
Harbor cruises are generally calm but can rock; if you’re prone to seasickness, take precautions (e.g., motion-sickness medication) prior to boarding and sit midship on the lower deck if available.
