Destination guide
Take to the water from a condo rental in Mission Bay
Mission Bay is a manmade saltwater bay south of Pacific Beach. The bay, part of Mission Bay Park, remains a popular destination for jet skiing and sailing. Families can enjoy seeing killer whales and dolphins or getting soaked on a rapids ride at the nearby SeaWorld San Diego. For sports enthusiasts, you can ride a bicycle around Fiesta Island or swing away at the Mission Bay Golf Course. Several Pacific Beach apartments contain a rooftop deck with a grill, where you can savor hamburgers and barbecue chicken while observing a lovely panoramic view of the bay.
Things to do
Mission Bay's wild, wonderful waterfront
After a grueling day of sun-baked revelry, you may want to entrust any further planning to an entertainment professional. Fortunately, your Mission Bay vacation rental is surrounded by 'em. SeaWorld San Diego is a family favorite with locals and visitors alike, and you'll find an aquarium, rides, and dolphin and sea lion shows throughout the park. Or you can journey back to a simpler time at Belmont Park, a beachfront amusement park. The park boasts concessions and thrill rides, but the main attraction is the Giant Dipper, a 1925 wooden coaster that's also been designated a National Historic Landmark.
