Welcome to Mission Beach!
Centered on the San Diego coast, Mission Beach and Mission Bay
provide a perfect home base for exploring this vibrant city. The area
is filled with impressive restaurants, a thriving craft beer scene, cul-
tural venues, attractions like SeaWorld San Diego, the San Diego
Zoo and, of course, miles of shoreline for water sports or lounging
on the sand. There’s something for everyone in this world-class
destination that lures travelers with its sunny skies and nearly year-
round warm weather.
Whether you’ve chosen to stay at Bahia Resort Hotel or
Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa, all of us at Evans Hotels—a
local, family-run company—hope you enjoy your time in San
Diego. Both of our bayfront properties offer a retreat from busy
lives. At the Polynesian-inspired Catamaran, children delight in
meeting our talking parrots. Adults make time to relax at the Spa
and enjoy at least one dinner on the beach-view patio of Oceana
Coastal Kitchen. A cocktail in the tropical outdoor setting of
Moray’s bar is a perfect way to end your day. At the Bahia, get out
on the water on a paddleboard or sailboat rental. Play tennis then
indulge in a hearty meal at Café Bahia or enjoy the Mediterranean
atmosphere at Tangier Bar with its live music.

The Catamaran and Bahia beaches may keep you too busy to
leave Mission Bay, but we encourage you to explore all our region
has to offer.
As you flip through the pages of Mission: Beach! magazine, we
hope you are inspired to venture out to the award-winning local
breweries, catch a wave at the beach and take in a baseball game
at Petco Park or live music in the Gaslamp Quarter. Savor the
fresh seafood and other tantalizing dishes by some of Southern
California’s best chefs. From La Jolla to Del Mar, downtown San
Diego and beyond, the area offers more than enough experiences
to create a week of lifelong memories. Evans Hotels has called
San Diego home since 1953 and—though we might be a little
biased—we think it truly is America’s Finest City.
So, from our family to yours, please enjoy your stay and come
back to see us soon.
Sincerely,
Grace Evans Cherashore
Executive Chairwoman
