Former Blue Crab Restaurant Information:

The 10,328 square foot, two-story former Blue Crab Restaurant is located on Driscoll's Wharf overlooking America's Cup Harbor in Point Loma. The building is extremely secluded at the southeast end of Driscoll's Wharf, far from busy North Harbor Drive and surrounded by the US Naval Training Center and America's Cup Harbor. After the Blue Crab Restaurant went out of business in January 2002, the building was occupied by a marine supply company.

During the filming of the series, a sand volleyball court and basketball court were installed in the parking lot and a fence was constructed around the perimeter of the property with "Restricted Access" signs. A security guard was posted at the main gate of the fence during the entire length of filming.

After the production vacated the building, the building's exterior was painted gray to match the neighboring buildings on Driscoll's Wharf and the interior was repainted white. The fence remained around the perimeter of the property and there was a security guard patrolling Driscoll's Wharf.

The fence around the perimeter of the property has since been removed and the building is currently leased to Semantic Research and TenEleven Interactive.
