"Lindy By The Bay" is a free Lindy Hop dance venue on the boardwalk behind the Hilton San Diego Resort on Mission Bay Drive. Donations to help cover costs are appreciated. Water is provided. Music is DJ'd. The sound system is great. Our first "LBTB" was March 24, 2001. You can check out how it got started if you like: Original "Dancing Outdoors" Thread.

The Hilton's "BAYSIDE TERRACE" restaurant and full "island" bar is right off the boardwalk where we dance. The dance surface is "floated" concrete. We put a light coat of sand down on top of it so turns are easy. It feels great. Even people that don't usually like dancing on concrete love this surface. Tennis shoes or running shoes are ideal!

Here's a few slideshows to give you and idea what LBTB is like:

Lindy by the Bay on July 2nd, 2005

Directions: From I-5, take the "Clairemont Drive" exit. Go one block west to "Mission Bay Drive" (4 way stop sign). Make a left (south) and the "Hilton San Diego Resort" is on your right about 1/2 mile down. There's lots of parking on the street in front of the Hotel, or in the public parking lots on each side of the hotel. You can park in the hotel parking lot if there's room and security's not out front screening people, which they do when they have big events going on at the hotel.
