I am about to give you my all-time favorite places to visit while you’re in San Diego. So put on your vest and get ready to set sail because San Diego has so much to offer, even if you’re just a tourist!
5. Carlsbad
Carlsbad is your gateway to California’s most charming and unforgettable escapes. The city of Carlsbad features seven miles of coastline, nine amazing breweries, and world-class resorts. There’s so much to do in Carlsbad such as shopping, golf, restaurants, and more. One of my favorite things to do in Carlsbad is walking around the village, maybe grab a bite to eat, and go shopping. If I’m not hanging around the beach, I will most definitely be in the village, probably sipping on a brew. The weather is undeniable and is very family-friendly.
4. Old Town
Located right outside downtown San Diego, Old Town is a historic and oldest neighborhood in San Diego. Everyone should visit Old Town at least once and learn about the cultural history San Diego has to offer. Old Town is the location of the first European settlement in California so it has a lot of history behind it. The atmosphere features more than 75 unique shops and over 30 restaurants. There is also plenty of parking so I think you’ll be fine. You can also check out some cultural museums and maybe even catch a ghost in the haunted areas. The food there is amazing and my favorite place to go to is Casa Guadalajara. If you love authentic Mexican food, this is the place to be!
3. La Jolla
La Jolla is a must-see town located on the coast of San Diego. Known for its rugged coastline, La Jolla is also known as The Jewel of America’s Finest City. With a rich history, the city of La Jolla consists of incredible beaches, fine dining, posh boutiques, and sweeping panoramic ocean views. But that’s not all. Downtown La Jolla, otherwise known as, “The Village,” is a walkable urban area packed with shops, museums, art galleries, and more! The simple beauty of La Jolla makes it one of the most popular landscape attractions but there are countless other things to do outdoors during your stay in San Diego.
2. Pacific Beach
If you want to have a night out with whoever you’re with, and wanna get loose, Pacific Beach is definitely the place to do so. There are bars and clubs everywhere you look and the best part is that you’re a 5-minute walk away from the beach! It is a favorite spot for college students and for young adults to enjoy the party atmosphere. P.B. (as the locals call it) sparks up at night and club lines fill up to the next club over, with the glow of bonfires and the electricity of the scene. My favorite place to go is Maverick’s, only because it is so alive during the nighttime. So go have a good time and be social at Pacific Beach!
1. Harbor Island
Harbor Island is located in downtown San Diego. This is definitely my favorite spot in San Diego. The breeze is perfect and the water flows like no other. The boats are the best part. Not only are you on a strip of land surrounded by a vast ocean, but the luxurious boats and yachts are also just another step up to add to the city. You can take a nice, breezy walk along the harbor and also even rent electric scooters and bikes to add to your experience. My favorite thing to do on Harbor Island is going on a sailing tour. It’s super relaxing and just a good time all around, especially in a beautiful city like San Diego. Harbor Island has the best seafood restaurants, such as C Level Lounge, which is my favorite place to eat over there. You can also watch airplanes take off since it is located right next to the airport. If you are looking for a nice, relaxing vacation, Harbor Island has a lot to offer.
I hope this blog helped you have the best vacation in San Diego!
