    Beautiful setting on the water with facilities suitable for wedding ceremonies and other functions. The area is surrounded by wildlife sanctuaries used by migratory birds. Very peaceful and scenic.

Natural Wildlife Preserve

Make the most of a beautiful day with a visit to Bayside Park. Hang out on the sandy beach overlooking the San Diego skyline, walk or bike down one of the many winding paths, or fish off the pier. Nature lovers make note there are several preserves surrounding the park to wander and explore. Surrounded by a wide variety of shops and restaurants, Bayside offers the best of both worlds with easy access to recreation, nature, and shopping options.

South of the bridge

One of the biggest perks about Safe Harbor South Bay is the privacy of its location. Skip the traffic and head south of the Coronado Bridge to find us — and your happy place — on the water.

Third Avenue Village

Located in Chula Vista’s historic west end, Third Avenue Village is a popular destination for a unique shopping and dining experience. Browse the eclectic shops and boutiques, or sit down to dine at one of the many fabulous restaurants. If you’re in the mood for a cold drink, make a pit stop at one of the Village’s many bars, breweries, and alehouses. Be sure to check in on the latest happenings before your visit to catch one of the many live events hosted throughout the year.

Bayfront Park

Spend a beautiful day outdoors surrounded by expansive views of the South Bay at the picturesque Bayfront Park. Boaters can take advantage of the public ramp for an afternoon of cruising or fishing and there are plenty of picnic tables for sharing a meal waterside. Leashed dogs are permitted here, so don’t hesitate to bring along your four-legged friends to join in the fun.

The Bayshore Walkway

Cruise down palm-tree-lined paths of San Diego’s coastline on the incredible 24-mile long Bayshore Bikeway. With unobstructed views and plenty of interesting stops along the way, it’s one of the best ways to explore the city while getting in some good exercise in the sunshine. If you didn’t bring your own set of wheels, there are plenty of bicycle rentals near the trail to outfit your whole crew.

The Galley at the Marina

Voted Best Entertainment in the South Bay, this lively waterside spot is the place to go for a fun night out within walking distance of the marina. Offering live music, dancing, Happy Hour specials, and a casual, no-worries atmosphere, the Galley at the Marina makes for a great date night or group outing. Enjoy the view from the bayside patio and dig into a delicious meal, with menu options ranging from handheld options like tacos, burgers, and sandwiches, to pasta dishes, fish, steak, chicken, and prime rib.
