Chula Vista Bayfront Guide

Marina life, the new resort district and open water views.

The Bayfront is Chula Vista's waterfront — marinas, the Living Coast Discovery Center on Gunpowder Point, bayside parks and the Gaylord Pacific Resort and convention center that reshaped the whole shoreline.

It's the city's biggest development story: new hotel and convention space, a rebuilt Bayside Park, and a shoreline bike path that runs the length of the harbor with downtown San Diego across the water.
