Take the ferry from SeaPort Village to Coronado. At the ferry landing are great restaurants, unique gift stores, and a small beach. Take Uber or Lyft rides to the famous Hotel Del Coronado to walk around the property and the gorgeous beach.

Parks & Nature
Balboa Park is a 1,200-acre urban cultural park in San Diego, California, United States.

Named for the Spanish maritime explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa, the park hosted the 1915–16 Panama–California Exposition and 1935–36 California Pacific International Exposition, both of which left architectural landmarks. The park and its historic Exposition buildings were declared a National Historic Landmark and National Historic Landmark District in 1977, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Easy 10 minute drive with lots of parking. It’s a great beach for kids since it has a gentle slope to deeper water. Great wave action for boogie boarding and body surfing. Designated areas for board surfing. Bathrooms, showers, fire pits, a playground and picnic areas make for fun times. Watch for dolphins, sea lions and in the winter months migrating humpback whales!

Park at Torrey Pines Beach and walk south. You will find trails leading up the cliff. It’s a work out but the views and great vegetation, especially those magnificent Torrey Pines will make it all worth it. Walk back to your car via the paved road. Or do the hike in reverse! Always check the tides before you go.
