Sail Bay is an intermediate flat water spot. There is often a lot of boat traffic (especially in the summer). There is grass-like vegetation growing in the shallow water. It can be slippery and it has muscles with extremely sharp shells living in it. These shells cut feet and kites, especially at low tide. Be careful!
To get to Sail Bay exit interstate 5 at Sea World Drive and go west (towards the beach). Stay in the right lanes and exit on Ingraham (the exit that goes towards Mission Beach). After exiting, go straight over the first bridge and go left at the end of the second bridge at the light (Riviera). Sail Bay is now on your left.
Sail Bay has times when it is an open-speed zone for waterskiing and other powerboats. Kiteboarding is discouraged by the lifeguards during these times.
