Things to do in San Diego?

My husband and I are going on a trip to San Diego next week and I am looking for some tips: Things to do, sights to see, restaurants to eat at, great neighborhoods, etc! Thanks for the tips!Things to do in San Diego?
I live in San Diego and I must say that there a tons of things to do here.



If you like the beach: I highly recommend Del Mar or Torrey Pines. There's a breathtakingly beautiful cliff where you have a total panoramic view from Torrey Pines. 2 thumbs up for sure! Also, Coronado Island is my absolute favorite. At the Hotel Del, they have a beachside bar and happy hour everyday. A definite must do.



If you like the mountains: I recommend checking out a quaint little town called Julian. It is a much older town and they are famous for their apple pies.



If you like fun and nightlife: Check out Downtown Gaslamp Quarter. Excellent restaurants and bars.



And for just exploring: Sea World, San Diego Zoo, La Jolla (a very wealthy area with museums), take a ferry boat ride from Seaport Village (lots of fun shops) to Coronado Island, the Cabrillo Point Light House (best view of San Diego hands-down), ride a jetski on the San Diego Bay.



Really, you will have so much fun here.



Hope I was helpful and enjoy your stay!
Take a caravan tour at the Wild Animal Park.Things to do in San Diego?
The San Diego zoo is a blast. you can go to the ocean. and if you guys are into golf. San Diego has really good golf resorts
well theres the obvious, Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Seaworld, but theres also some really great neighborhoods. check out Scripps Ranch, Rancho Penasquitos, and be sure to go Downtown and go to Gelato Vera and Saffron Chicken.
downtown san diego is pretty cool. I think it's called gaslamp or something like that.
it might be in santa cruize but if its not go to the board walk
San Diego Zoo is my favorite. Also, visit La Jolla Beach. It's beautiful there. :)
There are great neighborhoods all around :) beautiful houses and plants, except one part of it by some beach that i dont remember was very...druggie-filled. Also, there are homeless people around EVERY corner even if it is a nice neighborhood. The restaurants are VERY expensive so we ate at jack in the box and panda express which are both delicious :) The beaches are amazing and pretty much wherever u go theres something to see. Have fun :)
Have breakfast at The Mission restaurant in Mission Beach and chill out at the beach there for a while.
Best advice I can give is:



Go to the zoo and Balboa Park. You won't be disappointed.



Go to Seaport Village and browse the shops. Have a lunch at Edgewater Grill and don't forget the bread - it's the best.



Take a water taxi over to Coronado and check out the view from Peohe's. Also check out the Hotel Del Coronado for it's historical interst and beautiful beach.



My personal interests take me up to Point Loma and Cabrillo Nat'l Monument. The view is awesome.



If you have time, go up to La Jolla. Lots to do, see and eat.

Mission and Pacific Beach are your best bet for fun in the sun.

Some must see attractions are the world famous Zoo, Sea World, and Balboa Park. You can get a park passport which allows you entry to a dozen museums as well as the zoo.

North County San Diego is home to the Zoo's Wild Animal Park. There are multi acre enclosures where herds of wild animals roam plus lots of hiking trails.

La Jolla offers great views, great food, and shopping.

Check out the surfers at historic Winansea Beach. At low tide you can walk out onto the tide pools. Walk along the Cove and check out the caves. Take a stroll on Prospect St and check out the shops, galleries, and have some authentic Mexican food and Alfonso's. Then head to the Birch aquarium at The Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It has a spectacular view of the bluffs over the Pacific Ocean.

For nightlife, the Gaslamp Quarter offers dining, drinking and dancing. It's also the home of Petco Park and the San Diego Padres major league baseball team.

The Old Point Loma Lighthouse at the Cabrillo National Monument offers great views of the dowtown skyline, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. On a clear day you can see all the way to Mexico.

I would absolutely check out Balboa Park. Balboa Park is home to more than 15 museums, the famous San Diego Zoo, several arts and international culture associations, historic architecture and famous botanical gardens. I would recommend even eating at the Prado, which is right in Balboa Park.



I've included a list of all the free things Balboa Park as to offer below, including a timetable of all the museums that offer free admission.



You should also visit the Gaslamp Quarter which is the city's historic downtown neighborhood, now home to many of the city's finest restaurants, a plethora of pubs and nightclubs, theaters, galleries, and at least 100 retail shops. They actually have a bunch of free events going on all the time, so check out their website below.



Seaport Village is also an extremely cute area, with a bunch of retail shops and restaurants. Check out the link below for more info.



San Diego also has a bunch of free concerts going on in various parks during the summer. Bring a bottle of wine and a blanket, it's a really great time.



Anyway, hope this helps!
Go to Coronado. Def.

Sea World? LegoLand? Zoo? Wild Animal Park?

Old Town is pretty cool. Um. theres a san diego lighthouse.

I dont remember what beach it is. but you should eat at jakes

Good neighborhoods. Del Mar!!! :)
