    Bay Speeds

    As a general rule, the areas of the bay that are not regulated by a speed zone are to be navigated at a safe and prudent speed with regards to Inland Rule 6 of the U.S. Coast Guard.

    South San Diego Bay is governed by a 5 mph speed limit. This is the area delineated by concrete pylons and posted with 5 mph signs.

    All lagoons are posted as 5 mph zones. These include the Shelter Island Yacht Basin, the America's Cup Harbor, Harbor Island West and East Lagoons, and Glorietta Bay.

    Areas near anchorages are also 5 mph.

    Per California Law (655.2 Harbors and Navigation Code) you must follow the 5 mph limit:
    • Within 100 feet of swimmers.
    • Within 200 feet of:
      • A beach frequented by swimmers.
      • A swimming float, diving platform, or lifeline.
      • A way or float that boats are tied to for passenger loading/unloading.
