Here's a great way to enjoy the San Diego sites all day and still play a round after sunset.

A gigantic aquatic playground, Mission Bay is ideal for just about every kind of watersport, from sailing and SUPing to jet skiing and kayaking. It also has 27 miles of park- and beach- lined shores which are perfect for sunbathing, playing beach volleyball, and picnicking. Cyclists and runners will fall in love with the paved, 12-mile long path that winds around the bay and along the beachfront boardwalk. With resorts, theme parks, restaurants, and 19 miles of beaches, everyone will find a few reasons to love Mission Bay. Here are just a handful of them.

The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition's recommended route incorporates almost six miles one way of flat, scenic bike paths along the northeast corner of San Diego Bay. With the exception of one short section and the easy going roads of Liberty Station, this bike route is vehicle free.

Encompassing a good portion of the city's most outstanding attractions, taking San Diego's 59-mile scenic drive is a beautiful way to spend a day.
