Mission Bay is a saltwater bay or
lagoon located south of the Pacific
Beach community of San Diego,
California. The bay is part of the
recreational Mission Bay Park, which
is the largest man-made aquatic park
in the country, consisting of 4,235
acres (17.14 km2), approximately 46%
land and 54% water. The combined
area makes Mission Bay Park the
ninth largest municipally-owned park
in the United States.
Swimmers and sunbathers take
advantage of the warm water, calm
surf conditions and the sands of
Mission Bay’s beaches. Mission Bay
offers boat docks and launching
facilities, sailboat and motor
rentals, bike/walk paths and
basketball courts. There are
playgrounds for children. Public
restrooms and showers are available,
and lifeguard stations are located
in designated areas. San Diego Bay
is a natural harbor and deepwater
port adjacent to San Diego,
California. It is 12 mi/19 km long,
1 mi/1.6 km–3 mi/4.8 km wide. The
bay is surrounded by the large San
Diego urban area and is bordered by
the cities of San Diego, National
City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach
and Coronado.
Several museum ships call San Diego
Bay home. They include the USS
Midway, the largest aircraft carrier
museum, and the Star of India, the
oldest iron-hulled merchant ship
afloat and the oldest ship of any
type still actually sailing. The
Star of India and several other
ships and boats on San Diego Bay are
the floating collection of the San
Diego Maritime Museum; they are open
to the public for a fee, and many
are in sailing condition. In the
northern part of the bay there are
two commercial "islands" (actually
peninsulas connected to the mainland
by a narrow strip of land) called
Harbor Island and Shelter Island.
They were built up from former sand
bars and now hold hotels,
restaurants, marinas, and public
parkland. Across from Harbor Island
is a bayside park called Spanish
Landing, a historic site which
commemorates the meeting in 1769 of
two expeditions from Spanish Mexico
that made possible the European
settlement of California. A dozen
other parks are found at various
locations along the shoreline.
