La Jolla Cove

Check out the seals and seal lions and enjoy exploring La Jolla! There's also cave tours, snorkeling, and kayaking tours available at La Jolla Shores

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

Hike along the cliffs and enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean.

San Diego Zoo

The Zoo is world-renowned with diverse animal exhibits. We also love the Zoo Safari Park located in Escondido.

Balboa Park

A large urban park with museums, gardens, and the Spanish-Renaissance architecture.

Beaches!

There's a lot of great beach choices in San Diego. We recommend checking out 15th street in Del Mar, Pacific Beach, and Moonlight Beach in Encinitas.

Annie's Canyon Trail - Solana Hills Trailhead Parking Area

This is one of our favorite hikes! It takes about 30 minutes and is an easy trail with a hidden slot canyon and beautiful views.

Mount Woodson Trailhead

If you are looking for a challenging hike, this is a San Diego favorite! We recommend attempting in the morning when weather is more cool.

Explore the local breweries and wineries

San Diego is known for its craft beer and wine scene. There are many beautiful wineries in Escondido and Poway - you can't go wrong! For the brewery scene, we recommend Juneshine Kombucha, Coronado Brewing, Mike Hess Brewing, Stone Brewing, and Bivouac Cidery.

Taco Tour

No trip to San Diego is complete without beaches, Balboa Park, and, of course, tacos. Invented in Mexico centuries ago, taco culture has migrated all over the planet, and some experts believe San Diego is an ideal place to embark on a taco tour.

Hotel del Coronado

Enjoy walking around downtown Coronado, renting bikes, and definitely checking out the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado. We recommend then taking the ferry from Coronado over to Seaport Village and back!

USS Midway Museum

The New Children’s Museum

An excellent children's museum!

Petco Park

If you're here earlier in the week and want to see some MLB, the Padres will be at home June 20-25th!

Torrey Pines Gliderport

Sign up to go paragliding or hang gliding with an instructor or just picnic along the cliffs and watch the gliders! A beautiful spot to hangout or walk around and there’s a cafe available.

San Diego County Fair

The County Fair is currently going on! Always a good time. Please note this is near our venue and to expect heavy traffic and give yourself extra travel time!!
