San Diego Bay Live Webcam San Diego Bay, Pt. Loma, Harbor, City |
Live picture of downtown San Diego from across San Diego Bay. The palm trees below are on Shelter Island, a man made island built up by dredging in 1934. Just past the water line is Balboa Park (a bunch of trees in the middle, left of the buildings on the wider shot). The airplanes flying over the city and moving to the left (north west) are approaching Lindberg Field to land. They will usually reverse direction during a strong Santa Ana wind. You can sometimes see snow off in the distance on Mt. Laguna during a clear winter day. |
