Fantastic Fall Happenings at the Bahia Resort and Catamaran Resort in San Diego’s Mission Bay

San Diego, CA – Fall is the perfect time for a getaway to San Diego’s Mission Bay, home of the Bahia Resort Hotel and Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa, as the summer crowds diminish, sunsets glow in vibrant autumn colors, and temperatures average a pleasantly warm 74 degrees.
