I want a decent DSLR I can use at beach volleyball, on the boat, at climbing crags, hikes and that kind of thing. Obviously I understand that DSLR cameras are not tiny but don't want to buy the bulkiest setup. I'd want good auto features with perhaps the option of exploring probably some of the more simple manual settings at some point.

Can you guys give me some recommendations or at least things to consider? Thanks in advance.
That's where people got it all wrong. If you don't use it with manual settings then why spend the extra money? Alot of non-DSLR cameras deliver the same quality on auto settings. If you get a DSLR then please take the time to learn to shoot fully manually, else just don't get one. These days you have alot of non-DSLR cameras with emulated soft shutter time and diafragma that deliver top quality on auto settings for half the money.
