2 verifications about City Of San Diego City Of San Diego ×
“The City of San Diego, California, has 70 miles of coastline within its municipal boundaries.”
The 70-mile figure is best supported as a countywide measurement rather than a municipal one. Although City of San Diego documents repeat similar wording, they do not establish that 70 miles lie within city boundaries or explain how the shoreline was measured. Different treatment of bays and inlets could affect totals, but the precise municipal claim remains unsupported.
“The shoreline of San Diego Bay is managed by the San Diego Unified Port District rather than by the City of San Diego municipal government.”
Management authority generally rests with the San Diego Unified Port District, an independent state-created governmental entity, rather than San Diego’s municipal government. Official records and case law confirm the transfer of bay tidelands and submerged lands to the District. A narrow exception exists for certain city trust lands that were never conveyed.
