There are plenty of beaches to visit in San Diego! We recommend La Jolla Shores, Coronado, Torrey Pines, Windansea and Mission Beach. Another seaside spot to visit is the La Jolla Cove where you can spot large colonies of sea lions lounging in their natural habitat.
The Gaslamp District is the heart of downtown San Diego! There are plenty of restaurants to dine at as well as shops, bars, clubs and live music venues. If you're in to live music, check out Moonshine Flats for country music (and line dancing) or The Shout House known for their dueling pianos.
The Maritime Museum has one of the world’s finest collections of historic ships, including the world’s oldest active ship Star of India. It's located in the Embarcadero neighborhood where you can walk along the bay or visit the Little Italy neighbor nearby.
This 1,200-acre nature park comprises 17 museums, gardens, musical theaters, a sports complex, and the world-famous San Diego Zoo. The park’s Spanish-Moorish architecture and 19 distinct gardens (some require admission fees) attract both tourists and locals. Don’t miss the San Diego Air and Space Museum, the Spanish Village Art Center for unique handicrafts, and the Spreckels Organ Pavilion, where free concerts are hosted in the evenings. Travelers recommend putting aside the whole day to explore the park. To make the most of your time, hop on the Balboa Park trams (they’re free!) to get around
