Introduction to San Diego Bay

The location of the San Diego Bay is obviously in San Diego County, also near the US-Mexico border. The size of bay is about 19 kilometers or in simpler terms, 12 miles long. 

An interesting fact about the 'The bay' it used to be the base headquarters of major ships for the United States Navy, until the US entered World War II and then the headquarters became Pearl Habor, Hawaii.


 The San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex is located in Seal Beach, Tijuana Slough, and Sweetwater Marsh.
 The purpose of the San Diego National Wildlife is to support habitats as diverse as coastal marshes and uplands, oak woodlands, freshwater marshes in south San Diego Bay.

Some of the activities that occur in the bay are like the Big Bay Boom, which is held on the fourth of July, you can also go on cruises, visit shops and go to museums.

 The South San Diego Bay restoration and enhancement project dredges former salt ponds to create tidal channels and tidal influence.
