Hey there, water enthusiasts and vacationers alike! If you’re anything like me, you know that San Diego isn’t just about soaking up the sun on the sand; it’s about diving headfirst into the vibrant aquatic playground it offers. If you’re visiting San Diego for a vacation or are just a regular water lover like me, this water activity list makes sure you’re experiencing the best of San Diego. Let’s break it down, shall we?


  1. SNORKEL LA JOLLA COVE
    Picture this: the crystal-clear waters of La Jolla Cove beckon, offering a window into a mesmerizing underwater world. Bright orange Garibaldi (the state fish), seabass, and vibrant seagrass all welcome you in to this underwater heaven. Trust me, you haven’t truly experienced La Jolla until you’ve explored its depths.



  2. SAIL SAN DIEGO
    Ahoy, mates! Set sail on a three-hour tour (cue the Gilligan’s Island theme song) and let the salty breeze carry you through San Diego’s picturesque waterways. Whether you’re with family, friends, or a special someone, it’s an adventure worth every penny.



  3. WAVE RUNNER RENTALS
    Feeling the need for speed? Rent a wave runner and feel the thrill as you zip across Mission Bay. Just remember, rules are rules – so keep it safe out there! The fines can be steep.



  4. SURFING
    Hang ten, baby! Sure, surfing may have a learning curve, but trust me, it’s worth every wipeout. With over 70 miles of coastline, San Diego offers a wave for every skill level.



  5. BOOGIE BOARDING
    Not quite ready to tackle surfing? No problemo! Boogie boarding offers all the fun with none of the hassle. Perfect for riders of all ages, it’s a guaranteed good time.



  6. KAYAK LA JOLLA CAVES
    Prepare to be amazed as you paddle through the enchanting sea caves of La Jolla. With a knowledgeable guide by your side, you might just encounter some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures including sea lions, Garibaldi, leopard sharks (virtually harmless), turtles and all kids of fish and rays.



  7. SUP
    Get ready to work those core muscles! Stand Up Paddle Boarding isn’t just a great workout; it’s also an excellent way to soak in San Diego’s stunning scenery. Whether you’re a pro or a newbie, there’s a spot for you. My favorite is Mission Bay, where you can rent at the Catamaran Hotel.



  8. SWIM
    Dive into the deep blue and challenge yourself with a swim from La Jolla Cove to La Jolla Shores. Join the ranks of fearless swimmers who tackle this one-mile trek daily – you won’t regret it. Bring your goggles because on a clear day, you will encounter lots of wildlife. There is so much to see!



  9. TAKE THE FERRY
    Not feeling like getting wet? No worries! Hop aboard the ferry from downtown to Coronado Island and treat yourself to a delicious meal. And hey, why not bring your bike along for the ride? It’s a fun afternoon.



  10. EXPERIENCE NATURE
    When the sun goes down, the magic comes out to play. If your timing is right, you can keep an eye out for the Grunion Run and mesmerizing bioluminescent Red Tides – they’re Mother Nature’s way of putting on a show.


Whether you’re a seasoned water lover or a newbie looking for adventure, San Diego has something for everyone. Dive in and make a splash!
