we have a Ballast Point neighborhood in Tampa too. wonder which is older.

Ballast Point is a brewery here but I don't know if it is a place too. I have not heard of it here but it must be named after something.

They actually make rum too. They have a couple tiki mugs. Good company.

Ballast Point is a tiny peninsula that juts out from point Loma into the entrance to San Diego bay. The Early spanish skippers use to Load stones onto their ships to serve as ballast for the return trip home. Was a whaling station before the Pt. Loma lighthouse was built there. No, I was not around then. I just learned about the “Point” this afternoon while visiting the former Naval Training Station (now called Liberty Station) and really quite worth a visit.
