Kona Kai Marina
Kona Kai Marina sits on Shelter Island Drive and holds the title of the closest marina to the open ocean in San Diego Bay, meaning you spend less time motoring and more time sailing. The setting blends the calm of the bay with easy access to the Pacific, and the surrounding Shelter Island area gives you restaurants, parks, and waterfront walks right on your doorstep. It's a well-regarded full-service marina with a strong local reputation — give them a call at (619) 224-7547 to sort out your berth.
