General Information
Mission Point Park is located in beautiful Mission Beach, California, adjacent to the Mission Bay jetty.

The beach is often crowded with sunbathers, swimmers, snokelers, and divers.
When you enter the water, the sandy bottom slopes off gradually. You can swim on the surface to the rock wall of the bay, and drop down into approx. 10 feet of dept. The deepest point is only about 20 feet deep. Many scuba instructors will bring students here on days when ocean conditions are poor, due to waves and surf, as it provides a sea water envirnoment that is protected from surf.

The facilities and relatively easy entry make the bay a great spot for beginning recreational divers.
