Sunset Cliffs Natural Park

Park on one of the side streets and take a walk along the cliffs! We love Sunset Cliffs for its dramatic ocean views and incredible sunsets!

La Jolla Cove

See seals, sea lions, and gorgeous ocean views; great for walking or kayaking. Bonus: check out Sunny Jim’s Sea Cave - a self guided tour down 145 steps underground that leads right to the ocean! https://www.cavestore.com

Cabrillo National Monument

This is one of the most spectacular views of San Diego! There is an old lighthouse as well as a visitor center and also some amazing tide pools to explore! We recommend looking at the tides before your visit, best time to see the tide pools is low tide. There is also a small hiking trail if you are interested in getting some exercise. Cabrillo is operated by the National Park Service. Price is per car so we recommend carpooling! Be sure to also check out the historic Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery before or after your visit to Cabrillo.

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

Beautiful short and long hikes and beautiful views of the ocean! Torrey Pines is north of La Jolla. On your way out, be sure to drive by the famous Torrey Pines golf course!

Windansea Beach

This is another one of Christina's favorite beaches in San Diego. Parking can be tricky, we recommend parking a little further away in the neighborhood and walking down. Beautiful spot for photos. Keep your food close - the ground squirrels are relentless if you're picnicking on the rocks!

Coronado Island

Visit the historic Hotel del Coronado and enjoy the beach! Grab a drink at the hotel bar or some ice cream at the hotel! There is a nice beach path right next to the that is open to the general public. There are also a lot of fun shops to explore along Orange Avenue. We love Coronado Brewing Company! *Christina’s favorite Mexican restaurant here is Miguel’s Cocina (1351 Orange Avenue). Be sure to try the queso dip.

Balboa Park

Balboa Park is a San Diego landmark. It includes beautiful Spanish style architcture, fountains, an outdoor botanical garden and museums.

San Diego Zoo

If you are planning to visit the zoo, be sure to set aside, at least half a day or more. There is so much to see and lots of walking! Be sure to take the SkyFari Aerial Tram across the park and also visit the pandas! The zoo is located right next to Balboa Park

SeaWorld San Diego

USS Midway Museum

Visit the historic aircraft carrier located in downtown San Diego. We highly recommend allotting at least a few hours for this.
