I recommend if you have time. Depending on how many people are going might be worth getting an annual pass as you get a 50% off pass with an annual pass. (just FYI LMK) also you can take in water bottles and snacks and a backpack. :)
Fun place to see the seals and sea lions. Really busy on the weekends but still worth going. Free parking. Fancy shops and restaurants with lovely views.
The botanical building is free and is at Balboa Park. We wanted to be sure to add this tab as if you do go to Balboa Park be sure to check it out!
Popular place for locals. Many restaurants, including an IOWA bar (Pacific Beach AleHouse), you can walk down the boardwalk or walk out on the pier! Pacific Beach is where we meet and got ENGAGED!! Right in front of Waterbar :)
Amazing place to watch sunset. Free parking! You can walk along the sidewalk or down on the paths. Also you can bring a blanket and snacks! Not beachy more like cliffs but GORGEOUS no matter what time of day.
Gorgeous views!! Parking can be challenging. There is a fee to pay for the lot however it is possible to find street parking it may just take a moment to find it. There is a very large steep hill you must climb so please keep this in mind if you come. Plan to spend over an hour here! and it could take 15 min to find parking.
Historic site.
for the baseball fans!
