Food Scene
Great breakfast! and lunch! We eat here at least 3 times a week when we are in town. This place gets busy on the weekends, so prepare to wait 20-30 min after 10 am on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Panoramic views of the ocean are the best in town. Request seating on the outdoor terrace (don't worry, they have heaters during cold weather). I recommend booking in advance. Great for lunch or a sunset dinner. The fish tacos are awesome!

Great beach bar and beachfront dining. One of the nicer places to eat in Pacific Beach, but it won't break your bank. This is my favorite spot in the summer because they offer free 3 hour valet parking - so you can grab a drink and some food, than cruise the beach for a few hours.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, and incredible signature cocktails. This gem is located in the heart of little Italy - a must-see neighborhood. I recommend taking an "Uber" from the house - its less than $10 each way, and you'll avoid trying to find parking or paying for an expensive valet.

Foodies seem to really like this place - my guests from Montreal ate here 3 times on their visit they liked it so much. See what the buzz is about - walking distance from the house or a very short uber ride.

Standard grocery store very close to the house, they have all the essential food items and pharmacy items that you'll need. For better organic food selection and a more quaint shopping experience, I recommend "Sprouts".

Stunning panoramic views of San Diego and the ocean. I recommend checking the tide schedule and taking a peek at the tide pools during low tide. Great fun for kids too!

Drive to the top of the park and hike down to the ocean - one of the most breathtaking hikes around! If you head left after making it to the beach, you can hike around the corner and you'll find miles of beach with very few people. This is a great getaway, and yes - you can be nude! (don't worry, if you just hike the state park beach you won't be surprised by anyone in their birthday suit!).

Drinks & Nightlife
If you grew up in the 80's, be prepared for a blast from the past. The bar is surrounded by your favorite arcade games from your childhood. Drinks and food are also awesome. If you want to bring the family to play video games, go earlier in the day when its less crowded.
