This post is about biking Mission Bay! I recently biked Mission Bay Park to soak in the ocean and residential views of San Diego. Mission Bay is famous for the jet skis and boats you’ll see along the beach. It also has grass to relax on, beaches, docks, and a walk/bike path.

Highlights from the bike ride
You’ll see small docks all along Mission Bay to hop on jet skis or boats.
As you navigate along Mission Bay Park, you will have the option to bike on the street or the bike path. If you are aiming for speed, it is recommended that you bike on the road.
