California Beach Party On Mission Bay

California Beach Party is a seasonal series of events that celebrate the essence of the Southern California lifestyle! California Beach Party is back just in time to celebrate warm summer nights on scenic Mission Bay. Watch the sunset with family and friends while enjoying the fresh clam bake and fiery BBQ on the sand with a cocktail in hand.

Then sit back for a live concert performing a decades-long soundtrack of upbeat hits. Summer sounds will have everyone kicking off their sandals and digging their toes into the sand as they dance and reminisce of summers past.

  • Summer Night to Remember

    What a blast! The clam bake and BBQ did not disappoint. The food delicious and there was plenty of it! The music was super fun, old school, surf music, and all the best hits. We danced, we sang and boy did we laugh. This was a summer night to remember and one that I highly recommend. Five star event, for sure!

  • What a fun night!

    Seafood boil, delicious food, and when was the last time you saw hula hoop dancers. If you just need a smile and sing along with summer sounds, head to California Beach Party at the Bahia Resort Hotel!

  • Fun, Family-Friendly Event

    Living in San Diego, We don't often get to Mission Bay but we decided to take the whole family to California Beach Party event at Bahia. The food and drinks were outstanding and the ban was perfect for parents and kids. We had a great mini-staycation at Bahia! We will definitely come back again!
