Fourth of July Weekend
Your ideal waterfront home base for all things Independence Day weekend.
Spoil yourself and your loved ones this Fourth of July weekend with a Shelter Island getaway in the heart of San Diego. Spend the long weekend by one of our two waterfront pools, participate in our patriotic programming, watch San Diego’s iconic Big Bay Boom from the resort, or simply relax on our private stretch of sand on the Kona Kai beach.
Big Bay Boom
The Big Bay Boom fireworks show is displayed from four barges on the San Diego Bay on July 4, at 9:00pm. 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.
Festive Fun
This long weekend, join us as we celebrate the red, white, and blue! Enjoy a poolside BBQ and steel drum band for a patriotic time at Kona Kai Resort & Spa. Flags, balloons, and other decorations will be present throughout our resort to pay tribute to our freedom.
Party S’More
Take advantage of our private beach overlooking the marina while enjoying one of our tasty s’mores kits at our fire pits. We’ll provide you with all your s’mores essentials—a pack of crunchy graham crackers, soft marshmallows, rich chocolate, and roasting sticks for up to four people.
Rooms & Suites
Relish the salty air and San Diego Bay breezes in Island-inspired luxury at Kona Kai Resort & Spa. Beach chic mixed with modern sophistication sets the stage at your Shelter Island oasis this Fourth of July weekend.

Private cabanas are available to rent and upgraded packages that include food & beverage options are available for purchase.
