ATTN: San Diego Parks & Rec: This will not be a big enough event to require any permits or paperwork. We went through that rigamarole before. Jeep Picnic Saturday August 8th, on Fiesta Island in Mission Bay (San Diego)
The SoCalXJ group has a picnic every year down on Fiesta Island in San Diego, and it's been a merged event with NAXJA for years.
I am NOT going down really early to try to hold a stretch of sand for everyone (like I often have) unless someone else volunteers to be there as well. But I'll probably get there fairly early. There's a lot of flat hardpacked sand area to park on. But try to get there "earlyish" as it's a popular spot for groups to gather
Saturday August 8th, anytime b/w 6am & 10pm
West shore of Fiesta Island, where the "shortcut" comes across from the east side... roughly "1500 Fiesta Island Rd, San Diego 92109", coordinates 32.78025 -117.222500 aka 32*46'48.9"N 117*32'21.0"W
Bring your rig if you want, or whatever gets you there!!
Bring your own food & beverages; if you're so inclined, bring something to share. Bring firewood if you plan to be there past dark. You should get a great view of the Sea World Drone Show (they replaced fireworks) late in the evening.
No glass or alcohol allowed on the beach per SDPD rules, but people do get creative sometimes. Just don't get visibly stupid.
Bring chairs, shade, hats, sunscreen, water toys, beach toys, bikes, firewood, well behaved dogs (Fiesta Island is an OFFLEASH beach, though there's also a dog park just south of where we hang out). You know, beach stuff :). You can also launch small boats & Jet Ski type vessels right from the sand, if you have the 4x rig for it.
For those who still wear masks and/or social distance, there's plenty of space to spread out and to sit around and socialize.
Mark your calendars now, it's always a good time!!
If you get lost or can't find us for some reason, I can be reached at six19 six 5 4 nine 7 five 8.
Also for those new to Fiesta Island or who have forgotten, the perimeter road is pretty flat and is great for biking, walking, running, skating/blading, etc...
