VerifiedSquidco Fishing is Point Loma’s dedicated fishing tackle shop, stocking rods, reels, lures, line, and terminal tackle for both inshore and offshore saltwater fishing. The shop caters to the anglers who launch from Shelter Island, fish the Shelter Island Pier, or book sportfishing charters out of Point Loma Sportfishing—the same waterfront that generates 5,400 monthly Google searches for “point loma fishing.”
West Marine on Midway Drive also carries a fishing section alongside its broader marine hardware inventory, including rods, tackle boxes, and PFDs. For bait, the Shelter Island pier area and the sportfishing landings sell live and frozen bait seasonally. Point Loma’s position at the mouth of San Diego Bay makes it the natural retail base for anyone fishing the kelp beds, the bay flats, or the offshore banks.
Point Loma has several small-scale surf shops and custom board shapers, though no single big-name chain surf retailer. Delray Surf Designs builds custom surfboards and sells stock shapes from the shop. Sharp Eye Surf Boards operates a shaping and retail operation known for high-performance shortboards, and Heinrich Surfboards adds another shaper to the peninsula’s lineup.
The result is a neighborhood where surfers buy boards directly from the people who shape them—a dynamic more common in Hawaii or Australia than in most American beach towns. For larger surf retail with broader apparel and accessory selections, South Coast Surf Shop and Ocean Beach Surf & Skate in OB are both within a 10-minute drive via Voltaire Street.
The Lord of the Dings Surfboard Repair handles ding repair, fin box replacements, nose rebuilds, and fiberglass work for shortboards, longboards, and SUPs. The shop’s name has made it a local landmark among Point Loma and OB surfers who need fast turnaround on reef and rock damage.
Nick’s Surfboard Repair offers a second option on the peninsula, covering similar ding and structural repairs. Between the two shops, Point Loma handles the full spectrum of surfboard damage without requiring a drive to Pacific Beach or Encinitas. Turnaround times and pricing vary by severity—a pressure ding might take a day, while a snapped board can take a week or more.
West Marine operates a full-size retail location on Midway Drive in Point Loma’s 92110 ZIP code. The store stocks marine hardware, boat electronics, anchoring and docking gear, safety equipment, paints and coatings, and engine parts for recreational and commercial boaters working out of Shelter Island, the San Diego Bay marinas, and the sportfishing fleet.
West Marine’s Point Loma location is the most convenient chandlery for anyone keeping a boat on Shelter Island or in the Harbor Island moorings. The store also carries a fishing section, foul-weather gear, and marine cleaning supplies. San Diego Marine Exchange offers additional marine surplus and hardware nearby for boaters looking for used or overstock parts at lower price points.
WEST COAST PADDLE SPORTS operates a retail shop in Point Loma selling stand-up paddleboards, paddles, leashes, PFDs, and accessories. The shop caters to the flat-water paddling that San Diego Bay and Mission Bay make possible year-round—both bodies of water are accessible from Point Loma within minutes.
Paddleboarding is one of Point Loma’s most accessible water sports because the bay side of the peninsula offers calm, protected water that doesn’t require surf experience. WEST COAST PADDLE SPORTS also advises on board sizing and type—touring, all-around, or yoga—based on where the buyer plans to paddle. For rentals rather than purchase, several outfitters along Mission Bay and Shelter Island offer hourly SUP rentals.
San Diego Marine Exchange sells surplus and new marine hardware—pumps, valves, fittings, rope, chain, and electrical components—at prices below standard chandlery retail. The shop serves commercial fishing boats, liveaboards, and weekend sailors who need functional parts without paying full marine-catalog markup.
West Marine covers the full-retail marine supply side with brand-name electronics, safety gear, and engine parts. Between the two, Point Loma offers the broadest marine retail in San Diego’s coastal neighborhoods—a function of the Shelter Island marina district, the sportfishing fleet, and Naval Base Point Loma all generating sustained demand for boat hardware and supplies.
The Fitness Squadron sells home gym equipment and outfits private gym setups from its Point Loma location. The shop carries racks, benches, dumbbells, barbells, plates, cardio machines, and flooring—handling both individual piece sales and full garage-gym buildouts.
For budget sporting goods and basic fitness accessories like resistance bands, yoga mats, and boxing gloves, Big 5 Sporting Goods at the Sports Arena Shopping Center covers the entry-level market. Kite Country rounds out the outdoor gear side of Point Loma retail with kites, windsocks, and outdoor toys—a niche that takes advantage of the steady coastal wind off Sunset Cliffs and Cabrillo.
