Discover Shelter Island
Visitors to Shelter Island on San Diego Bay have a variety of cuisines available to them within short walking distance. This island was created during WWII when the bay was dredged to allow for large Navy ships. Appropriately, the cuisines found here come from around the world. When looking for elegant dining with high-end drinks, you cannot go wrong with the cuisine that concentrates on Hawaiian and seafood elements with an Asian fusion twist. The food is as sumptuous as the view of the bay. For a full-bodied American cuisine with robust views, there are excellent choices built beside the bay with the view in mind. Many of these options meld American and seafood cuisine.
