Mission Bay

About

As the largest waterpark of its kind in the world, Mission Bay comprises 4,200 acres in roughly equal parts of land and water, surrounded by 27 miles of meandering shoreline of sandy beaches. Interconnected by a network of waterways, inlets and islets, the bay is best explored by boat.

Mission Bay's beaches beckon water sports enthusiasts of every kind, from kayaking and stand up paddle boarding on the calm waters of the bay, to surfing and kite boarding on the waves that crash on the Pacific-facing beaches. Whether you're a novice at watersports, or an experienced professional, there's something for every age and skill-level to enjoy in the water. And on land, families can picnic, barbecue or celebrate with bonfires right next to the water.

Mission Bay is also home to SeaWorld San Diego, one of the most popular marine-life parks in the world.
