SeaWorld's 'Turtle Reef' Attraction Debuts

SAN DIEGO -- SeaWorld San Diego's newest attraction, "Turtle Reef," opened on Saturday as the theme park battles a 9 percent drop in attendance.

The Themed Entertainment Association reports that SeaWorld is the only major Southern California amusement park to sustain a drop on attendance last year, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

"Obviously, the public has not seen as much compelling new stuff in SeaWorld as in its competitors," said Robert Niles, the editor of Theme Park Insider, in an interview with the Union-Tribune.

A spokesman for SeaWorld blamed the downturn on last year's terrible summer weather. The park is building a new roller coaster, called "Manta," and on Saturday opened a major new attraction in "Turtle Reef."

It features more than 60 hawksbill and green sea turtles in a 300,000-gallon coral reef habitat. Some of the adult turtles are more than 50 years old, and some juvenile green sea turtles were hatched in 2009.

Tropical fish are included in the exhibit. Turtle Reef has educational activities and a spinning ride called "Riptide Rescue."

The turtles are endangered and, since they often mistake plastic bags for jelly fish, stores at SeaWorld will from today on only hand out paper bags or allow customers to purchase reusable bags.

'Wanted' no more

Escape Arizona Heat in San Diego This Summer | WelcomeToSanDiego.com

Along with our fabulous weather, San Diego offers an array of recreational options.  As a San Diego resident, Torrey Pines  might be the best “muni” in the world of golf!  However, even closer to home, the Coronado Golf Club provides 18 great holes of golf and seaside views.  (If you’re there at 8 a.m, 7 mornings a week golfers pay a moving tribute to the Navy SEALs, based just a 4 iron away.  Please ask about this).

The beach cities from Coronado to Oceanside each have their own unique flavor.  You’ll enjoy spending the day on Pearl Street in La Jolla, and the contrast to an afternoon on Cedros Ave in Solana Beach.  It’s only a half hour from home!

Let’s have a conversation about Downtown San Diego Real Estate

Today’s blog is motivated by my newest clients, who reside in Wasilla, AK.  After visiting San Diego every winter for 20 years, they decided to have a winter home here.  We spent four intense days matching their requirements to the opportunities in Downtown San Diego Condos .

For partial year residents, condo living is ideal.  They chose an ideally located, Marina District condo in Marina Park.   It is a spacious 2 Bedroom, with both bedrooms offering ensuite bathrooms.  They chose a midrise complex with a complete amenity package; pool, spa, exercise room, etc.  Most importantly, as they will be there only a few months every year, it is a complex served by a 24 hour concierge. 

They also selected a building that will allow them to rent their furnished condo for six months.  It is imperative to check CCRs and HOA rules for rental minimums, as many condos will not allow rentals of less than 12 months.

Advantages of Downtown San Diego Condos

If you could live at the beach in the summertime, would you want to?  It is a stark contrast to Downtown Condo living.  Downtown is uncongested and convenient.  The beaches are crowded and loud.  Downtown is self contained and accessible.  The beaches are isolated and trafficky. 

Downtown is affordable.  My Alaskan clients will pay their mortgage (75% LTV), HOA and Property taxes for the summer months from their rental proceeds!  

We are still identifying excellent condo opportunities for partial year residents and investors.  Please take a moment to read Investing in Downtown San Diego  for more specific details. 

San Diego is the place for a summertime escape from the Arizona heat!  It’s also a dream for all of us from Chicago to enjoy a snowbird winter in San Diego.  Let’s start a conversation and see if there is an opportunity for you in Downtown San Diego.
