San Diego is one of the best places to explore with a yacht. Not only is its weather spectacular with wintertime temperatures usually in the 60s, but it offers some of the world’s most beautiful scenery. You can also take advantage of a San Diego yacht rental to enjoy special events in America’s Finest City, such as the Port of San Diego Big Bay Boom July 4th Fireworks Show.
Here are some activities to consider while enjoying your yacht.
Coronado Island
Coronado Island is situated just across San Diego Bay from downtown and offers tremendous exploring opportunities. Amongst its attractions that you can see from the water is the historic Hotel del Coronado, a gorgeous wooden Victorian resort that was the world’s largest when it opened in 1888.
Mission Bay
Mission Bay, which is situated just northwest of downtown and consists of 2,000 acres of water, is accessible to yachts and offers intriguing nooks and crannies. Here, you can enjoy its sandy beaches, protected marinas, fascinating canals and numerous opportunities to engage in water-based activities.
La Jolla
Just a few miles north of Mission Bay is La Jolla, a famous beachside community that is home to UC San Diego and some of the most beautiful scenery that San Diego has to offer. It is also where you can find Torrey Pines Golf Course and numerous water-facing restaurants and cute boutiques.
Point Loma
Between Coronado Island and Mission Bay is Point Loma’s lovely shoreline. At its southern tip is Cabrillo National Monument while the area is also home to a beautiful Greek-inspired outdoor theater. Much of Point Loma is rugged in nature, helping make this a unique attraction in the San Diego area.
Downtown San Diego
Many who take advantage of San Diego yacht rentals immediately head towards the downtown area to appreciate the city’s beautiful skyline, which is especially stunning when done at night. While doing this, you can also enjoy the famous San Diego-Coronado Bridge from below and sail past the USS Midway, an aircraft carrier that was commissioned in 1945 and removed from service in 1992.
Catalina Island
Those who have several hours or overnight to explore with their yacht should consider making a trip north to Catalina Island, which is off the coast of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Its highlights include its 2,100-foot Mount Orizaba, its wildlife and Avalon and Two Harbors, its famous communities.
