Attractions: Mission Bay & the Beaches Frommer

Mission Bay is a manmade, 4,600-acre aquatic playground created in 1945 by dredging tidal mud flats and opening them to sea water. Today, you can this is a great area for walking, jogging, in-line skating, biking, and boating. The boardwalk connecting Mission Beach and Pacific Beach is almost always bustling and colorful. If you get fogged out by June Gloom, head for The Plunge, the 175-foot-long indoor pool at the foot of the Giant Dipper.
