Kona Kai San Diego is situated near some of San Diego’s best beaches. From riding the Giant Dipper at Belmont Park in Mission Beach to taking a hike along the cliffs at Torrey Pines State Beach, there is a perfect beach along San Diego’s shorelines for your next beach adventure. Memorial Day weekend is the ideal time to dive into the Pacific, whether you’re up for surfing, paddleboarding, or just lounging on the sand.
