Naval Base Point Loma

Please do not use Rosecrans St as your personal race track
We the neighbors live here and just this week we had two accidents (one fatal) of sailors speeding through our quiet neighborhood. We are proud to have you as our neighbors but please respect the 30 mph limit and no passing on our street.

when would you not have a great time right on the water. We came here for a Sub homecoming celebration to help take pictures of the couple we knew reuniting for the first time in 7 months. It was cool to be down here and the grounds were beautiful. I felt like it was a once in a lifetime experience.

I recently directed a wedding at the Naval Base and it was stunning. The catering staff was top notch and extremely accommodating. My bride and groom were beyond happy with their experience celebrating their union at the naval sub base. This venue is officially San Diego Events Company APPROVED!

As a resident of Laning Rd. It is difficult to appreciate the base. Military personal in cars and motorcycles frequently race or speed local roads. Pleas remember that you are guests I our neighbor where we paid for our homes.

Compared to the litany of military installations within the San Diego city limits, this base is small. This is the main hub for underwater warfare in the Navy. Sailors who are fresh out of boot camp will check in to gain their first Naval Education Code. Majority of these students will go on to be rated as an STG (Sonar Technician Surface) or MN (Mineman).
When you combine a small base with people coming in from all over the area, you get what’s called a parking issue. You NEED to arrive in the early hours i.e. Between 5 – 7, to get a good spot. That’s not to say you can’t snag one on the opposite end of base. If that’s the case, wherever you have to walk to won’t be too far.
The upside to this base is the location. It sits in Point Loma directly across from an area known as Liberty Station. You can find a lot of cool places there like Oggi’s Pizza, Sushiya, Subway, Starbucks, Slaters 50/​50, etc. It’s also close to the airport.
The surrounding businesses definitely make this one of the more appealing Naval Bases in San Diego, even though there are a lot of junior sailors here.

Very small training base. Like extremely small. If you aren’t in training here then you’re using the base for the lodging, which you can’t beat for the location. You’re right by the water and because it’s small, it’s nice and quiet. The off base area of Point Loma has a small seaside town feel to it (maybe because that’s what it is). «Quaint» is the word — thank you Laina.
Located a couple of minutes from the airport. Bring your bike because the bike path can take you from here all the way past the city along the coastline. You’ll also want a car because there isn’t much right outside the base.
Picnic bench areas are really nice especially at night when it gets peacefully quiet with moon and city lights reflecting off the bay.

Small base! very little here as far as services barber shop and tiny NEX open during the week only. I would recommend bring food to microwave or going across the street to sushiya or ogies/​subway. Gateway in is actually pretty nice I had AC/​Heat. Gate guards are a PITA if they think you are a student here but its pretty easy to put a stop to that. Parking is a mess!

I work here sometimes, its cool. Small and easy to locate things here

Great base!!! The gate guards are always helpful.

Really bad parking… I mean really bad… as in sometimes no parking.

My nephew held his wedding and reception here. Expansive beautiful views were breath taking.
The wedding was held on the open «lawn» which was astro turf. It actual made it much easier to walk on and wasn’t muddy or dirty.
It was a cool June weekend so they had heat lanterns arranged throughout the reception area around the tables.
I was glad I brought a sweater and light jacket as the breeze had a nip to it.
The inside area was quite spacious with an open area and another bar area.
The staff did a wonderful job taking care of so many people from the appetizers to dinner and drinks.
It is hard to get so many people in one party onto the base. With id’s in hand it took a bit longer than what was orig planned. Other than that it was a beautiful place.

Another wonderful naval base. Been to a lot and this one is just the same. one good thing about this base however, you have a great view!!!

We like the vicinity of this base.

Came here for a wedding reception — the reception was a Admiral Kidd.
BEAUTIFUL! Right off the water with a full view of San Diego.
The hall looked like there were multiple party rooms, the one we were in had room for at least 12 tables, a portable bar, and a dance floor. There were also huge doorways that led to the outside area. Here, there was a place for outdoor seating. This is also where they laid out the hors d’oeuvres. Beyond the outside dining area is the grassy lawn that stretched until waters. Then you see the view of San Diego!
