Fun Facts

De Anza Cove Park is nestled within Mission Bay Park, which spans over 4,600 acres of land and water, making it the largest man-made aquatic park in the country.

The park is home to a variety of bird species, including the endangered California least tern, making it a paradise for bird enthusiasts.

De Anza Cove Park opened in 1961, offering visitors a scenic escape with its sandy beaches and lush picnic areas.

The park is named after Juan Bautista de Anza, a Spanish explorer who led an expedition to California in the 18th century.

Visitors can enjoy a range of activities from kayaking and paddleboarding to beach volleyball and kite flying.

The park is a favorite location for the annual Over-the-Line Tournament, a quirky and fun beach softball event.
