Walking as little as 30 minutes daily is one of the easiest, safest and most pleasant ways to get in shape, stay in shape and reduce stress. The Big Bay -- San Diego's biggest attraction -- offers 34 miles of scenic waterfront, with miles dedicated to walking and cycling paths.

Workout

As you stride along Embarcadero Marina Parks North and South and Chula Vista Bayside Park, you can boost your workout at the exercise stations. Easy-to-follow signage guides you through the courses.
