Why San Diego
San Diego is the reliable play that always delivers. Balboa Park and the Zoo for families, craft beer in North Park for friend groups, La Jolla Cove for snorkeling and seals, and some of the most consistent weather on earth. The Gaslamp Quarter handles the nightlife; Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach handle the surf culture.
Highlights
- San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park — an actual full day
- La Jolla Cove snorkeling, kayaking, and seal colony
- Coronado Island by ferry and the Hotel del Coronado
- North Park craft brewery scene (Modern Times, Thorn, Benchmark)
- Fish tacos at Oscar's Mexican Seafood — both locations
