Directions & Parking

The race is at Crown Point Shores Park that offers a large grass park for teams to set camps and a more canoe friendly beach for launching. Take I-5 Freeway Exit Sea World Drive and go west. Pass Sea World and take Ingraham St. exit on your right. Get in middle lane (that is two lanes over to the left) heading north. After going over the first bridge proceed in the right lane over the second bridge and turn right on Crown Point Drive, which is the stoplight at the end of the bridge. The park is immediately on the right side – turn into first driveway.

Parking is free and the lot is large enough to accommodate all participants. Please do not park in any spots reserved for SCORA officials and the SCORA van and park legally in marked spots. Tickets will be issued to any vehicles parked in red zones or taking up more than one spot.

Location and Permit Regulations

NO DOGS, NO GLASS, NO LOADING, AND UNLOADING IN RED ZONES, NO SMOKING, and NO ALCOHOL.

These rules apply on the beach, in the park, and in the parking lots. FYI our permit includes the services of the San Diego Police Department; two officers are assigned to our event for the entire day.
