While some of us may be lucky enough to live in America’s Finest City, for many visitors a trip to San Diego is a summertime treat! In the summer, crowds at many popular San Diego attractions grow, and it can be difficult to find fun, stress-free ways to beat the heat and enjoy the city. Here are a few tips to make sure that your San Diego vacation is one to remember!

Plan ahead – Most popular San Diego attractions, including restaurants, tours, and theme parks, reach booking capacity far in advance during the busy summer season. Make restaurant reservations ahead of time and booking tours like our Signature Sails is a great way to make sure that once you arrive in San Diego, it’s nothing but smooth sailing.

Be flexible – While planning is definitely advisable, sometimes the best-laid plans are muddled by things beyond control. Random weather events and unplanned traffic jams can cause delays and cancellations to activities planned well in advance. While not the best of circumstances, I’ve always found that the best thing to do in those situations is to relax and realize that one misstep can’t derail an awesome vacation. Most San Diegans know that plans do change, and we’ll always try to help and accommodate unforeseen circumstances.

Enjoy the weather – It’s almost a cliché to write down, but getting outside and enjoying the uniquely spectacular summertime weather we have in San Diego is a no-brainer. Whether you’re heading to the beach, wine tasting, hiking, or even taking a sail with us on the San Diego Bay, nothing beats San Diego in the Summer.
