Dock wisdom

·

Mission Bay is the best place in San Diego for beginner watersports - flat, calm and sheltered from ocean swells.

·

The La Jolla sea caves and reef are only 10 minutes north of PB and worth the short drive for snorkeling.

·

Crystal Pier cottages book up months in advance for summer - plan ahead if you want to sleep over the ocean.

·

Garnet Ave parking is brutal on weekend nights - the Ingraham St lot is the only reliable option.
