Chula Vista

San Diego Bay defines the setting of Chula Vista — its broad eastern shore gives this South Bay city a maritime edge while the community extends inland toward the rolling foothills of southern San Diego County. The name Chula Vista, Spanish for “beautiful view,” reflects the region’s Spanish and Mexican linguistic legacy. Downtown’s historic Third Avenue is a local commercial corridor, while the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center serves as a U.S. Olympic and Paralympic training site. The Sweetwater Marsh unit of the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge protects tidal wetlands along the bay.
