Transportation
Walking
It’s about a 15 minute walk from the hotel to the Seaside Forum along the beach or street. Please see the maps on the next pages for the walking route.
Driving and Parking
Maps of the San Diego area and the area immediately around the Scripps Seaside Forum are on the next few pages. There is no public parking at the Forum itself (if you park in their lots without a permit or assigned spot you will be ticketed), so we recommend parking at the Kellogg Park parking lot (see map). Parking is free and the park is a 10 minute walk from the Forum (see map for walking route) and we will also have a shuttle pick up attendees at the entrance to the parking lot (and drop them off in the evening). If you arrive early there is also legal street parking on El Paseo Grande.
