La Jolla is a nice area north of San Diego. The Cove has sea lions and seals that you can get close enough to smell.
Nice easy hiking/walking trails with a good view
Great zoo in Balboa park. We have pandas.
Cool museum, nice walk along the waterfront
Ocean Beach - hipster, dog friendly; Mission Beach - clean, family friendly; Pacific Beach - fun, party friendly
Hotel Del Coronado is a historic hotel. Recommend making a day of it and walking around Coronado Village. Consider taking the ferry.
Nice view of San Diego.
