Hotel Overview
Shelter Island isn't really an island, and most San Diegans will tell you that's part of its charm. This sliver of land curving into San Diego Bay is where locals come to walk the bayfront path at golden hour, watch the sailboats head out toward Point Loma, and slow down for a minute. The Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina sits right in the middle of it, with rooms looking out over the private marina, the bay, or the downtown skyline across the water.
Settle in by one of the two outdoor pools, pick up a game on the tennis courts, or take a seat at the bay-view Blue Wave Bar & Grill for California coastal cuisine. The outdoor fireplace beside the marina-facing pool is the kind of spot that turns an afternoon coffee or evening glass of wine into the part of the trip you remember. Mornings are best spent on the walking path that runs just outside the front door, ideally before the sun gets high, with a coffee in hand. When you're ready for the rest of San Diego, Ocean Beach, SeaWorld, and the San Diego Zoo are all a short drive away. And while most guests will pull up by car, the private marina welcomes those who'd rather arrive the scenic way, with slips that handle everything from sailboats to super yachts.
Book your stay on Shelter Island and let the bay set the pace.
