Things To Do
Torrey Pines State Reserve
This is a moderate scenic hike with great ocean views. We recommend parking on the street nearby and hiking into the reserve.
Puesto La Jolla
Our favorite "gourmet" tacos in San Diego! Make a reservation on OpenTable to make sure you get a seat, this place is popular for a reason!
Everyday California
The La Jolla sea caves kayaking tour is a blast! They also have snorkel rentals for you to use in La Jolla Cove. Go enjoy the ocean! Find a discount on Groupon or through Estancia Hotel front desk.
Little Italy Mercato Farmers' Market
The farmer’s market is a perfect Saturday morning activity to explore local SD finds. Little Italy is one of our favorite parts of downtown!
Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course
This is the Farmer's Insurance Open PGA course! If you want to be like Tiger, call at least 90 days ahead for a tee time...or ask James, resident golf expert, for further golfing and course finding advice.
Windansea Beach
Our favorite "locals only" beach! Park in the neighborhood nearby and walk down to where the rocks meet the sand! *If you need a beach with facilities we would recommend La Jolla Shores or Coronado instead.
Hotel del Coronado
A San Diego icon! There are plenty of things to do on Coronado island, including paddle boarding by the bridge and golfing. Have a drink at the hotel and explore the beautiful beach behind the property!
Liberty Station
This area near the airport has a handful of our favorite restaurants and shopping! Try El Jardín for upscale Mexican and stop by the store Pigment to get a San Diego souvenir!
Duke's La Jolla
Grab lunch on the patio in the heart of La Jolla. Ocean views and luxury shops surround this restaurant.
Scoops La Jolla
The perfect ice cream stop, any time of day. This shop features delicious flavors and includes vegan ice cream options for all to enjoy!
Torrey Pines Gliderport
Right around the block from our hotel!
Roberto's Taco - Del Mar
You need to stop here on your way to Torrey Pines! :) It's your chance to try a California burrito!
Bay Park Fish Company
Bay Park is where we live! This place is our new favorite. If you love fresh fish, you should go.
USS Midway Museum
Located in downtown San Diego, the Midway is a historical naval aircraft. We recommend booking a tour to learn about this navy ship first hand.
