Here are the top 7 things to do this summer—and how you can enjoy them to the fullest with Bluewater Vacation Homes’ free beach gear, bikes, and surfboards available exclusively for our guests.

• Paddleboarding at Sunrise
  Start your day gliding across the calm morning waters of Mission Bay on a stand-up paddleboard. It’s peaceful, refreshing, and a great way to explore the shoreline.
  Pro tip: Ask our concierge for the best launch spots nearby your rental.
• Catch Waves with Free Surfboards from Bluewater
  Mission Beach is just a short stroll away—and a perfect spot for beginner or intermediate surfers. As a Bluewater guest, you can grab a surfboard at no extra charge and hit the waves anytime during your stay.
• Cruise the Bay with Free Bike Rentals
  Mission Bay’s flat pathways are ideal for biking. Whether you’re heading to Pacific Beach, Belmont Park, or just exploring the scenic coastline, Bluewater offers complimentary bikes to help you ride in style.
• Take a Sunset Cruise or Catamaran Tour
  Unwind with a guided cruise or private catamaran tour at golden hour. Bring your favorite snacks, pop a bottle of champagne, and enjoy the view—Mission Bay sunsets never disappoint.
• Visit Belmont Park for Classic Beachside Fun
  This vintage beachfront amusement park brings the charm of old-school San Diego with a twist of modern fun. Ride the Giant Dipper, grab a cone from Dole Whip, and enjoy the boardwalk vibe just minutes from your stay.
• Try a Thrilling Water Tour
  Looking to kick things up a notch? Mission Bay has tons of outfitters offering jet ski rentals, wakeboarding, and guided kayak eco-tours. It’s a great way to see the bay from a whole new perspective.
