Things To Do

We're so excited to share a few of our favorite places in San Diego with you! Come early or stay late to spend an extra few days in such a cool city :)
Monserate Winery

Monserate Winery

2757 Gird Road, Fallbrook, CA 92028

Our venue is a beautiful winery. Come here for a tasting or a good meal!

Torrey Pines Gliderport

Torrey Pines Gliderport

2800 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, San Diego, CA 92037

This is where the majority of our engagement pictures were taken! On the top of the cliffs, watch paragliders soar around Gliderport with a fantastic view. Or, you can always paraglide yourself! Down below, you can hike down to black's beach.

Black's Beach

Black's Beach

2800 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, San Diego, CA 92037

This is a fantastic beach, just a short (but steep!) hike down below Gliderport. Be aware, this is a clothing-optional beach. If you don't pair the beach with gliderport, we actually recommend La Jolla shores for beach time.

La Jolla Shores Beach

La Jolla Shores Beach

San Diego, CA 92037

We recommend this beach for a fun day in the sun! Fantastic views, the beach is less crowded than Pacific Beach, and you can rent Kayaks and Snorkels along the shore! Plus, you can snorkel with the leopard sharks, as early November they are still close to shore! (Leopard sharks are harmless to humans).

La Jolla Cove                                                  (Sea Lions, snorkeling)

La Jolla Cove (Sea Lions, snorkeling)

San Diego, CA 92037

Visit La Jolla Cove to go see the wild sea lions and birds, walk around La Jolla Coastal Trail, and a gorgeous view of the coast to the North. Visit Sunny Jim's sea cave for a part of local San Diego history, where smugglers used it during prohibition. Now only sea lions use it! Pro tip: seals have no ears and 'gallump' to move, whereas sea lions bark and have ears! Start at The Children's Pool (where the seals rest), and then head North on the La Jolla Coastal trail to hit the Cove (where the sea lions rest), then lastly the Sunny Jim's sea cave!

Tell us which is better: Taco Stand or Tacos El Gordo

Tell us which is better: Taco Stand or Tacos El Gordo

511 F Street, San Diego, CA 92109

John and Jill's two favorite taco spots in San Diego are Taco Stand and Tacos El Gordo. Try both, and let us know which are your favorite to help settle the debate!!

Balboa Park

Balboa Park

San Diego, CA

Visit Balboa park, with the Japanese Friendship gardens, Spanish Village, Museum of Art, Cafes, and our favorite, the Botanical Building and Lily Pond!

San Diego Zoo

San Diego Zoo

2920 Zoo Drive, San Diego, CA 92101

Widely considered one of the best zoos in the world! Visiting the Zoo or the Safari Park is an iconic part of San Diego. The zoo currently is home to two giant pandas, Xin Bao and Yun Chuan. Check them out on the panda cam if you don't have time to visit the zoo!

Pacific Beach

Pacific Beach

San Diego, CA

While living in San Diego, this was our old neighborhood! Visit Lahaina beach house for a lovely sunset margarita, see Slo-Mo rollerskating while you walk along the board walk, or go to Crown Point to bike along the bay and beach!

Kate Sessions Memorial Park

Kate Sessions Memorial Park

5115 Soledad Road, San Diego, CA 92109

This is one of our favorite views in San Diego. Kate Sessions Memorial Park is at the foot of Mount Soledad, and has a great view of the whole city. This awesome view is just two blocks north of our old apartment!

Karl Strauss Brewing Company

Karl Strauss Brewing Company

9675 Scranton Road, San Diego, CA 92121

This is one of our favorite spots to eat and drink beer!! Close to our offices when we lived here, we came here all the time with our friends. We especially love the golden stout beer, and the food truck burger! It is a lovely brewery with outdoor seating and a koi pond, plus TVs if there are any good games on!

An's Hatmakers (Ice cream)

An's Hatmakers (Ice cream)

1555 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014

Some of our favorite flavors of ice cream here! There is a location in Del Mar called An's Hatmakers, and a location in North park called An's Dry Cleaning. Some of the best ice cream ever, with flavor names inspired by clothing materials!
