A Feast for the Senses
Paradise Point Resort & Spa is a tropical wonderland that developed from what was originally known as the Mission Bay Aquatic Park. A dredging project, approved by the city council in 1958, turned a swampy area into 30 miles of beaches and opened a sun-kissed bay to recreational pursuits like swimming, boating and fishing.
Today, visitors to the resort can see many of California’s indigenous species of birds, fish, marine mammals, invertebrates and plants in their natural environment. The resort’s layout invites strolls past picturesque lagoons that are home to ducks, turtles, herons and egrets and through spectacular gardens where hummingbirds are a common sight.
