Quivira Basin, Mission Bay

San Diego, CA
Marina California

About

Quivira Basin is the small-craft harbor within Mission Bay — San Diego's 4,200-acre aquatic park, the largest man-made aquatic park in the United States. The basin sits at the south end of Mission Bay near the ocean entrance, offering direct access to the Pacific and calm protected sailing within the bay. Mission Bay is a powerboater's and windsurfer's paradise as much as a sailor's, but Quivira Basin's charter fleet and sailing schools make it the most active learn-to-sail environment in San Diego.
