★★★★★Cynthia BasuJoin the SDPU Dragon Boat team. Open practice every Saturday at 8:30am.
★★★★★Perry HittWow!! The BSA has a stunning spot on fiesta island (tent was 10 feet from the bay at high tide!) Fairly well set aside from the crowds on fiesta island in summertime... Definitely coming back here soon ☆☆☆☆☆
★★★★Frank LaresBSA Camp Fiesta Island has lots of great aquatic activities, fun staff, overall a good experience for Scouts.
★★★★★ChadBeen here several times over the years and every time I come I've tried something new. That's how much fun this place is. It helps that my boys and I are affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America (Scouts USA), but aside from that people of all ages can join in the fun with canoeing, kayaking, sailing, paddle boarding, they even have several local canoe clubs that store and race their "Dragon Boats" out of the Youth Aquatic Center.
