Such a beautiful experience! I have always wanted to check out this gem. Every time me and my husband visit San Diego we forget. We decided to do a day trip and make this sight a part of our visit bucket list. We parked about a mile away …
Such a nice place to visit. It opens 24/24 but parking is so hard big times esp at the weekend. We came to visit it on Wed afternoon but still had to park almost a mile away. …
A historical place symbolizing the end of the 2nd World War with the the statue of the kissing sailor and nurse with the USS Midway converted to a museum in the background. I remember watching a movie with this setting and the place where this famous picture depicted on the statue was in Time Square.
The iconic sailor-kissing-the-nurse sculpture is a nostalgic nod to the end of World War II. It's a must-see landmark with its larger-than-life charm and waterfront setting. Snap a pic, soak in the nostalgia, and appreciate the symbolic embrace of joy and relief. A simple yet powerful testament to a moment frozen in time.
Perfect picture point, beautiful bay view with very commemorative status. Bring your lover and give a deep kiss!
