Broadway Pier, San Diego, Maritime terminal on San Diego Bay, United States.

Broadway Pier is a cruise ship terminal on San Diego Bay at Broadway and North Harbor Drive, an 800-foot reinforced concrete pier. The 2010 terminal has a tall glass-panelled tower rising above a lower glass facade bearing the sign "BROADWAY PIER", and a long white building with rows of windows, projecting gables and solar panels on the outer roof. A white steel gantry spans the deck, which is edged with white pilings and black fenders.

Built in 1913, this was San Diego Bay's first reinforced concrete pier and has served passenger vessels for over a century. The structure reflects the region's maritime development and the growing importance of cruise travel to the port.

Broadway Pier appears as a location in Paul Schrader's 1979 film Hardcore, with George C. Scott, standing in for Los Angeles. In 2003 the pier hosted the premiere party for Peter Weir's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. The pier is named for Broadway, the street that meets North Harbor Drive at its landward end.

The pier is located on North Harbor Drive and provides access to restaurants, visitor information, and a public plaza with bay views. You can walk freely across the entire space, especially when no cruise ships are docked and public events are taking place.

The 1979 film Hardcore, directed by Paul Schrader and starring George C. Scott, used the pier as a stand-in for Los Angeles. In 2003 the pier hosted the premiere party for Peter Weir's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. The 1970s remodel by Donald Innis of Innis-Tennebaum Architects kept the bay visible down Broadway and added planter boxes with trees, among the first such above-water structures.
