Old Town and gorgeous beaches
Your first day was quite busy, today we are taking it a little easier. In the morning you will explore Old Town, a trip back in time. Then it's time to admire San Diego's most beautiful beaches! And don’t think we’ve forgotten about the food. You’ll get to visit plenty of food-hotspots, too!
Breakfast at Spill The Beans
What better way to start your day than with a delicious bagel and fresh coffee? Spill The Beans has the best bagels in town, and a very wide selection. They let you pick your own type of bagel (sesame, roasted garlic, … you name it), in combination with your ”sandos”, the “actual” flavor and combo. They have over 10 types of bagels and at least 6 types of sandos, so there's guaranteed to be something in there for you! Can't choose? The San Diego bagel is the best bagel we’ve ever had, so definitely recommended!
Time for some sightseeing! Your next stop is only a 10-minute drive away.
Go back in time at Old Town
Start at Old Town Village, a little village with different galleries, shops and restaurants. You can taste delicious tacos here or buy some nice souvenirs. The colorful setting and the vibrant atmosphere is just lovely! Your next stop will be the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, a historic part of San Diego (as you probably already guessed). It’ll feel like walking around a movie set with all those vintage buildings and music playing everywhere! Fun guaranteed ;-).
Enjoyed the lively atmosphere at Old Town? It's time for your next stop! It's only a 10-minute drive to your next destination.
Walk along Sunset cliffs
The stroll along Sunset Cliffs is one of the prettiest scenic walks San Diego has to offer. Admire the amazing views of the coastline and dramatic waves and cliffs. Especially the sea caves are so pretty and definitely worth checking out! There are countless stalls spread around the area as well. The things you can do (or buy) at these stalls differ greatly. From having a romantic picnic to having multiple photos taken, make sure to take a look!
It's time to recharge! Take the car to your lunch spot of the day.
Delicious sushi at Cannonball
Cannonball is a gorgeous rooftop restaurant that combines incredible sushi with breathtaking views. The food is great here (more on that later), but don't forget about the drinks! We tried multiple of them, and they were all really good! Our favorite was probably their Poolside Sangria, a cocktail that consists of: Pinot Grigio, Cocchi Americano, Elderflower, Raspberry and Pineapple. Yum! We also really recommend their sushi, if you’re interested in our recommendations make sure to check out our secret tip ;-).
Enjoyed the delicious sushi and great views? Now it's time to further explore San Diego! Your next stop is a 15-minute drive away.
Explore La Jolla
The most popular spot in San Diego is probably La Jolla, known for its breathtaking natural beauty. From spotting sea lions at Children’s Pool Beach to admiring the Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier, there’s so much to do and see here! La Jolla consists of so many beautiful places. It can get quite crowded here, but don’t let that stop you from exploring La Jolla! We can guarantee it's worth it, the whole vibe is just amazing.
Just 5 minutes away you'll find your last stop of your weekend.
Dinner at Homestyle Hawaiian
At Homestyle Hawaiian, you can order authentic Hawaiian food and eat it on the beach while watching the sunset. Talk about a perfect ending of your weekend getaway! Every dish at Homestyle Hawaiian is prepared with fresh ingredients, resulting in a burst of vibrant flavors with every bite. Pair your meal with one of their handmade lemonades, and you’re in for a refreshing and satisfying experience ;-). Since you might not be familiar with the Hawaiian cuisine, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations! They really know their Hawaiian food, and they’ll be happy to help.
