Following its overwhelmingly successful San Diego-area debut in 2017, the Breeders’ Cup World Championships return to Del Mar, one of the world’s most iconic racing venues - Where the Turf Meets the Surf! The 2021 Breeders’ Cup will combine the two greatest days of international horse racing with a fun-filled experience of spectacular beaches and world class entertainment and attractions.

Fall is one of the best seasons for viewing the Giant Blue Whales while enjoying some of the mildest weather of the year.

The Maritime Museum of San Diego is please to announce the return of the popular day sail adventure experience aboard San Salvador, a replica of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s ship that arrived at the port we now call San Diego on September 28, 1542. These 4-hour Sailing Adventures are for people who love history and sailing. Few 21st Century people have sailed aboard a 16th Century galleon. You can become one of them. No sailing experience is required. An invaluable addition to your experience is the onboard historian who will explain how the San Salvador was sailed, navigated and defended. 

In addition to learning about the exploration of the West Coast, guests can assist the sail crew, enhancing their back-in-time experience.
