Parks & Nature

Love to come here Sunday's with the kids. Picturesque scenery to walk around. It's adjacent to the Zoo so you could do both in the same day if you have the energy. There are a ton of museum options ranging from Japanese Zen gardens to the Science Museum.

Amazing views! This spot is hands down one of the best hikes to take advantage of in San Diego. You don't even realize you're getting exercise as you hike down the trail enjoying La Jolla's beautiful coast line.

Drinks

What appears to be an unassuming hole in the wall bar/restaurant turns out to be a unique speakeasy. More or less they serve up fancy sweet cocktails in a fully decked out dark space themed bar. You get transported from from South Park to somewhere in Star Wars. Cool spot to get a drink or two but they are pretty strict on requiring reservations.
