Mariners Basin
Mariners Basin is a sheltered anchorage tucked inside Mission Bay, giving you calm, protected water with easy access to the surrounding park and sandy shorelines. It's a laid-back spot with Bonita Cove and Mariner's Point just nearby, so you can dinghy ashore and stretch your legs on the beach or explore the walking paths around the peninsula. Note that swimming is restricted in parts of this area, so check local signage before jumping in.
