About San Diego

Including tips for the best time to visit San Diego

Situated on the west coast of the United States, San Diego is synonymous with blue ocean waves, warm California sun and relaxed neighbourhoods. With the Mexican border just about 28 kilometres from the city, San Diego is the southernmost city in California.

The Maritime museum of San Diego preserves the naval heritage of the country and offers a huge collection of historic vessels, including Star of India – the world’s oldest active ship. You can step inside these vessels to discover a world of maritime history and fascinating voyages. The longest serving American aircraft carrier, USS Midway, serves as an interactive museum that hosts events and educational programmes, and features an extensive collection of restored aircrafts. Narrated by Midway sailors, your audio guide will help you explore the engine rooms, sleeping quarters and the officers' quarters among other locations.

Owing to its location and year-round pleasant temperature, San Diego is the ideal destination for sea and sun lovers. The white-sand beach of Coronado is a popular location for watersports and seafood dishes. You can sit back and relax at the Cardiff State Beach and watch surfers ride glittering blue waves. If you wish to experience the nightlife of San Diego, try to stop at the Pacific Beach and go bar hopping.

September 21, 2023

I visit the probably the least visited parts of San Diego, as I'm not fond of crowds. I walked the entirety of Mission Beach and Belmont Park. I visited Liberty Station, and walked the Naval Training Center Park and Esplanade, even going under a bridge and on to Spanish Landing. I also visit Cabrillo Pt National Monument and the tide pools, especially at low tide. Ocean Beach is OK, but I like it best when they have the weekly Farmers Market, which lately has been Wednesdays,

My favorite spots, believe it or not was using the highways.

September 16, 2023

My favorite spots, believe it or not was using the highways. The scenic view from them is incredible, especially if you're a passenger and getting around San Diego was easy. If I lived there, my commute to and from work would take less than half the time that it does here close to Seattle. Everywhere seemed to be within 15-25 minutes away, even during the busy hours of the day.

September 14, 2023

We enjoyed the Gaslamp Breakfast Place in the Gaslamp Quarter. Walking around downtown was cool although there was too much trash in the gutters and there were lots of trip hazards on the sidewalks. The roads were in lousy condition too. But the businesses were vibrant and we went to the top of a boutique hotel to see the 360 degree views of the city. We also went to the Midway Museum (very interesting) and had brunch on Flagship Tours' cruise. We were surprised how little parking there was, downtown and near the harbor. We enjoyed our anniversary lunch at the restaurant Coasterra which had fabulous views of the city. I had fun shopping at Nordstrom and Louis Vuitton in the Fashion Valley shopping center. We also loved a particular artist, Carlo Miranda, at San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. Difficult parking there as well. The park was packed with people.

Plenty of beaches to choose from.

September 10, 2023

Plenty of beaches to choose from. Hiking areas, shopping, family fun, deal watching. We chose more of a private experience no Zoo or Lego land. Torrey Pines beach and hiking incredulity beautiful. Swimming in Ocean Beach and walking in La Jolla. Amazing air and weather, great experience with other drivers on the road. Cute shops in old town and tasty Mexican food and fish everywhere. The drive on I-5 is beautiful and the Coronado bridge and island stay was awesome.

San Diego was awesome, every day we did multiple things. Market @ Little Italy was great. Breakfast Cruise around the Harbor was so much fun. Movie on rooftop of Hyatt Hotel was a must but bring a blanket or something to keep you warm.
