The Beaches: - Follow those links on the left to wild water adventures including surfing, swimming, snorkeling, boating, deap-sea fishing, waterskiing and much more. Out of the water there is sand football, volleyball and jogging / biking trails along the coastline that are quite popular. (We strongly advise against anyone trying to climb beach bluffs as they are highly unstable and subject to frequent collapse.) For some wild beach adventures look for the following:

Para-Surfing - Get out on the ocean on surfboard harnessed to a parachute catching the breeze and pulling you along.
Wave-Runners - Oversize jet skiis that are designed to operate on the open ocean. Most marina operators can help you with this.
Scuba Diving - Lots of organized dive groups and schools in the area.
Para-Sailing - Mission Bay is a popular venue for this sport.
Sailing - For beginners, try the facilities and small 12 foot boats on Mission Bay which is a lot more calmer than the open ocean.
Dragonboat Races - Paddle a four-man racing canoe out into the open ocean. Several clubs operate out of Oceanside Harbor.
Sailing Charter - Contact the local marina for a list of open ocean sailing charters. 1/2 day and full day ocean voyages on a big, fast sailing ship.

The Mountains: - Many outdoor recreation trails and campgrounds.

Wintersports - The upper elevations receive quite a bit of snow during winter and there are even ski resorts in the Big Bear Lake area.
