Pacific Beach Military Resort and Conference Center

The Pacific Beach Military Resort and Conference Center sits on the bluff above Pacific Beach and used to be a Navy station that monitored sonar installations on the sea floor of the continental shelf, probably looking for Russian submarines. There is still a Navy electronics presence there, but I don't know what they do, maybe the same thing.

For the most part, it has been converted to a vacation / conference center for military and DoD civilians. The center features a hotel, but you can also rent 2, 3, and 4 bedroom houses that used to be base housing. The cottages" as they are called are fully stocked with kitchen equipment, plates and tools and so forth.

The recreation center features a full gym, and the largest hot tub I have ever seen. There is also a bowling ally and theater. There is a full bar with cheap drinks, but the restaurant is sub-par.

I stay here several times a year.
