Bartell Hotels-managed Best Western Plus Island Palms in Point Loma anchors the center third of Shelter Island with a private mega-yacht marina accepting vessels from 20 to 200 feet. Full water, electric, phone, and cable hookups make the basin the closest yacht access to the Pacific in San Diego, a slip network that neighbors the charter and sport-fishing fleet docked at Kona Kai Marina. Three building wings — Island Palms, Casa Del Mar, and Casa Marina — retain distinct design eras while sharing two heated bayside pools, two lighted tennis courts, and complimentary bicycle rentals along the Shelter Island waterfront path. Blue Wave Bar & Grill serves California coastal plates with patio seating overlooking the marina, and half-day deep-sea charters depart from the adjacent piers at Fisherman’s Landing across the harbor. The waterfront meeting pavilion delivers over 6,500 square feet of banquet and event space with integrated AV and on-site coordination for seated receptions of up to 200 guests overlooking the yacht basin.
