The Islands Room is a must see. Avoid the boring bar and drink in the restaurant. Make sure you see the pool and the other rooms of the restaurant. Shelter Island is the Tiki District of San Diego. Humphreys, the Bali Hai, Trader Morts Liquor and others are all within a few blocks. It's right by the Airport. If you have a chance to walk around it's really cool. Sven gave a lecture at the Bali Hai once, he walked a crowd of us around the Bali Hai over to the Half Moon Bay's pool. There are many Tikis on Shelter Island. Hit the Bali Hai at dusk, it's a great veiw of the city and a good place to see the sunset. Watch this short documentary of Bosko the carver, towards the end they feature shelter island.
