Embark on a paddleboarding odyssey that begins in the heart of Mission Bay, where memories and adventures unfold with every paddle stroke.
Bonita Cove - Mission Bay
First, one of our favorite spots to paddle board on Mission Bay is Bonita Cove adjacent to Belmont Park. Bonita Cove is only a short paddle from Aqua Adventures. The cove is protected on three sides so it’s usually very calm even on windy days. On any given day, you can find people fishing off their stand up paddle boards or one of our stand up paddle board yoga or hydro bike fitness classes. On a warm summer day SUP over to Bonita Cove to pull up on the sand and take a dip in the warm water!
Barefoot Bar & Grill - Paradise Point Resort
Experience the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation with Aqua Adventures' paddleboard rentals. Embark on a journey that combines the thrill of paddling with the pleasure of dining at Paradise Point's renowned Barefoot Bar & Grill. Set against the panoramic backdrop of Mission Bay, the paddle to Barefoot Bar & Grill is a captivating 30 to 40-minute excursion.
Indulge in a bite to eat or listen to live music from local bands as you unwind in the welcoming atmosphere of Barefoot Bar & Grill. The restaurant's legendary history dating back to 1962 adds to its allure, and its casual California dining vibe serves up bold flavors and new-American dishes.
To make the most of your experience, we recommend reserving your paddleboard rental for 2 to 3 hours, allowing you ample time to savor the paddle and enjoy the offerings at Barefoot Bar & Grill. Come, paddle, dine, and bask in the vibrant culture of San Diego at its finest – right on the water's edge.
Fiesta Island
If you are paddling with your dog we recommend paddling to Fiesta Island. Approximately a 30 - 40 minute paddle from Aqua Adventure, Fiesta Island Dog Beach is a large area of land located within Mission Bay. Most of this island is designated as leash free for dogs, it’s rarely crowded and there are spectacular views of Mission Bay, Downtown San Diego, and Sea World. Dogs can enjoy the sandy beach or play in the bay with calmer waters. Bring your dog and their favorite toy – we’ll provide the paddle board and life jackets, and enjoy a fun day on Mission Bay!
