For years, the Catamaran Resort Hotel in Pacific Beach has been knocking guests\u2019 socks off with their traditional summer sunset luaus.
\nNow the Catamaran\u2019s sister property, the Bahia Resort Hotel in Mission Beach, has joined the party with its own production titled “California Dreaming: San Diego\u2019s Beach Party of the Decades.”
\nFor the 15th straight year, the Catamaran at 3999 Mission Blvd. is hosting its traditional luau on Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m. between June 26 and Sept. 4.
\nCalifornia Dreaming is debuting this year at the Bahia Resort at 998 W. Mission Bay Drive on Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. through Sept. 3. Both events afford locals and visitors an opportunity to attend and enjoy two very different \u2014 but equally entertaining \u2014 themed events on San Diego\u2019s Mission Bay.
\nFor those looking to build their Southern California “cred,” Bahia\u2019s Beach Party features local classics band The Fabulous Mar Dels. The band takes guests on a musical journey celebrating California\u2019s beach culture, summer and fun. From the early California surf sound pioneered during the ’60s by the Beach Boys in songs like “Surfing USA” to Katy Perry\u2019s 2010 hit, “California Girls,” the comprehensive California song catalog will have everyone kicking off their sandals and digging their toes into the sand as they dance to their favorite summertime hits.
\nAs the sun sets over the Pacific, guests will be cued by Chubby Checker\u2019s classic “Limbo Rock” to join the limbo line. For those feeling competitive, a Hula-Hoop contest will be the perfect opportunity to display their skills and win a prize.
\nAttendees of legal drinking age at the Bahia Beach Party will be greeted with a signature cocktail to start the festivities, before they make their way to the summer buffet, complete with barbeque grill station and that classic staple of beach parties: the clambake.
\nPicnic tables on the sand along the hotel\u2019s private beach will give the party that element of authenticity only an actual beach community like Mission Bay can deliver. A cash bar stocked with locally crafted beer and cocktails made to order will also be available to cool off between dance sessions.
\n“We like to have fun at the Bahia,” said Jim Greene, the resort hotel\u2019s general manager. “Throwing this summer-long series of beach parties is a great way for couples, families and friends to celebrate one of our favorite seasons in San Diego.” Summer Sunset Luaus Every Friday through Sept. 4, guests will mingle at the Catamaran\u2019s sunset luau beach party.
\nCreated to complement the Polynesian architectural design and tropical landscape of the hotel, the Summer Sunset Luaus offer an escape to the South Pacific with a traditional buffet and evening entertainment courtesy of Pride of Polynesia. The event features live music, hula dancers and a crowd favorite, the fiery torch dancers. Luaus feature a ceremonial lei greeting, tropical cocktails (for guests 21 and over), and the defining element of an authentic luau, the kalua pig.
