No visit to San Diego is complete without a visit to La Jolla and Torrey Pines. La Jolla is a smart seaside area, known for its rugged coastline. Trails wind past pine trees and sandstone canyons in Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, while the 2 courses at world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course sit atop sea cliffs. La Jolla Cove has sweeping ocean views, and the Shell Beach tide pools are home to anemones and crabs. Posh boutiques and waterfront restaurants dot walkable La Jolla Village. If you have time stop at Mount Soledad on your way for sweeping 360 views of all of San Diego.

North Park has a wonderful central location for exploring all of San Diego by foot, bike or car. A quick walk from the house will take you to Morley Field where you can enjoy the trails leading you through to Balboa Park. https://www.balboapark.org/trails/morley-field Or venture further south past the park to see downtown San Diego.
