Shelter Island Marina at the Island Palms Hotel

Tucked along Shelter Island Drive on the western edge of San Diego Bay, this marina sits right alongside the Island Palms Hotel, meaning you can step off your boat and straight into a tropical-landscaped waterfront property with rooms, dining, and amenities within easy reach. It accommodates vessels up to 190 feet, making it one of the more generously sized options in the area. The bay views here are genuinely lovely, with the San Diego skyline and Point Loma framing the water around you, and the Shelter Island strip — with its restaurants, yacht clubs, and waterfront parks — is right on your doorstep.
