Mission Bay, Beaches, and SeaWorld
View Map
Mission Bay and the surrounding beaches are the aquatic playground of San Diego. The choice of activities available is astonishing, and the perfect weather makes you want to get out there and play. At the south end of the bay lies SeaWorld, one of San Diego's most popular attractions. If you're craving downtime after all the activity, there are plenty of peaceful spots to relax and simply soak up the sunshine.
