Carved from the
marshlands of the San Diego River Estuary in the 1950's, Mission Bay is
one of the nation's largest man-made city parks. It's about nine square
miles of sheltered beaches, grassy parks, bicycle paths, marinas, hotels,
and Sea World. Visitors often don't see much more than Shamu doing belly
flops but the locals know better. Take advantage of the uncrowded beach
paths. Hit the path at Bayside Walk, starting west of the Bahia Hotel,
and head northeast to Crown Point Shores.
If it floats, you can rent
it at Mission Bay. You can rent boats and take lessons. In the mornings,
the ocean breeze is still light or nonexistent. The bay is one of the best
places to try sea kayaking.
Hit the beach. The most crowded
areas (to see or be seen) include the southern portion of Crystal Pier
or the end of Mission Bay Drive (roller coaster area). For a little more
room, just go south of either region. At the very southern end of the beach
are dozens of volleyball courts and an outdoor basketball court donated
by NBA legend Bill Walton, who grew up playing here. You can rent all kinds
of surfboards, boogie boards, roller blades, and bikes on the boardwalk.
If you enjoy sailing, you
must catch the breeze on the bay. You can rent windsurfers and all types
of boats from small Capris and jet skis to a Catalina 30 at Quivira Basin,
the bay's largest rental operation.

Pictured above is a room at the
Hilton Tennis and Beach Resort. You can look out from a private balcony
and enjoy the scenery and water by day. At night, sit back and watch the
fireworks from Sea World (located where the tall tower is seen in the distance
on two photos above.

| The 4 diamond Hilton Tennis
and Beach Resort is situated on Mission Bay. If you book a view room suite,
you can watch an endless parade of joggers and fitness buffs on the public
path along the bay, colorful sail boats glide by or people putting at the
greens, depending on where your room is. Because San Diego
is known to have the best weather on the coast, people are always out doing
things and the Hilton provides a ring side seat.
Children's' activities keep
kids occupied all day. There's a kids' club with organized activities,
bikes, blades, swimming, tennis and an arcade on location. The food
menus and prices are not Burger King or McDonalds. Not to worry, they do
serve peanut butter sandwiches but there are also numerous fast food and
variety restaurants not far away so you can pretend you are at home, buying
chicken McNuggets kids like best and getting yourself something fine such
as fish, Mexican, Italian and vegetarian faire, just a 5 to 15 minute drive
from the Hilton. Although San Diego is one of California's largest cities,
you can get around town much quicker than in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
