This is one of the best, little known, spots in the city to get drinks, especially right around sunset. You can sip on a cocktail while looking out the window on the top of a sky rise building and enjoying spectacular views of Point Loma, Downtown and Coronado.

If you haven't tried In N Out, and want something quick and cheap, every SoCal local will tell you to go here! You can tell how good it is by the long line at the drive through during all open hours! It has a short menu with fresh items. Ask for your burger or fries "animal style" to get extra sauce and grilled onions on top.

Rubio's is a chain take out restaurant, but it has the best fish tacos I've ever had. If you want something quick and easy, and very SoCal, this is a great place to stop! You can also sit down and eat at the restaurant. They serve beer and wine.

Surfy vibe, iconic SoCal style Mexican food. My favorite is the breakfast burrito!!! Very casual, most people are wandering in off of the beach in their board shorts.

Great for swimming, surfing or a gorgeous walk on the beach. The cliffs overlooking Law Street have some of the best sunsets in San Diego. There are also outdoor yoga sessions at the outdoor park here often offered at sunset and various other times by local yoga studios and freelance yogis.

The Best Dog Park I've ever been to! You can let your dogs roam free while they play in the waves and you can take a nice walk around the island as well. If you bring the dogs, this place should definitely be on your list of places to go!

When you turn onto La Jolla Farms Road, just a little ways down the street, there is a hiking trail on your left. This leads you out onto a field that ends on the cliffs overlooking Blacks Beach. On the map, if you zoom in, you can see it as a little brown dashed line, on the left of La Jolla Farms road, close to it's intersection with La Jolla Shores Drive. This has always been one of my favorite, secret spots to take out of town guests!

Great Hiking spot right next to the beach. You can start in the parking lot at the top and hike down to the beach. But, remember, you will have to hike all of the way back up! There is a fee to park within the park itself. Last time I checked it was $15. If you wish to avoid the fee, and are lucky, you can sometimes get parking along the beach at the bottom of the hill before you enter the park itself.

The zoo is one of my favorite places to take the kids just to walk around. It's world-renowned for the animals, however the scenery and ambience is what I go for time and time again!

Arts & Culture

You can walk around Balboa park and enjoy the gardens, architecture, or take in the variety of museums and theaters available. I'd stop at the bar at the Prado in the evening for Sangria and Calamari or Panama 66 next to the Museum of art for live music in the sculpture garden on weekend nights. Make sure to walk across the bridge at the entrance.

Great indoor eclectic market with all kinds of different local vendor. Checkout the cutting boards, coasters, etc. made by Oliver Stuff/Cutting Boredom! My husband has a booth here and sells all of his handmade creations.
