Extending Your Trip
If you're extending your trip to San Diego, we hope you enjoy our city! For city exploration, Little Italy and North Park are two fun downtown neighborhoods to stay in close to many restaurants, museums, Balboa Park (a SD landmark), and beaches. If you're planning to spend most of your vacation at the beach, Encinitas, Oceanside, Del Mar, and Pacific Beach are great places to stay.
