4th of July at Kona Kai Resort
This Fourth of July, escape with your loved ones to Shelter Island for a quintessential San Diego getaway. Spend the long weekend lounging by our two waterfront pools, enjoying festive patriotic programming, taking in the iconic Big Bay Boom from the resort, or unwinding on Kona Kai’s private stretch of beach.
Big Bay Boom
The Big Bay Boom fireworks show is displayed from four barges on the San Diego Bay on July 4, at 9:00 PM. The Shelter Island barge is located directly outside of our resort, so be sure to bring your lawn chairs, friends, or rent a boat to watch from the water.
