You have to go to Hodad’s for burgers and the OB farmers market. It was an every Wednesday thing when I lived there, lots to see, lots of artisans and jewelry and hand made items as well as pastries, jellies, fruits, veggies, flowers, etc. Everyone should figure out the trolley system. It will save you so much frustration in parking if you see a few things by trolley then get out and walk to your destination. Stroll thru Old Town, shop, eat, see the sites, its a block from the trolley. Little Italy is also a block from the trolley, so it;s an easy stroll. Fillippi’s is a must for pizza and pasta. Mona Lisa’s is great too. Same with the Gaslamp, take the trolley and stroll thru the area. I moved away about 5 years ago, but these are some things I loved about San Diego. When I had a day off from work I would hop on the trolley and go explore.

I’m so excited to try some of the things on this list, thank you! My family is from San Diego, and I’m in Texas, so we try to vacation there whenever possible. This September will be the first time I get to take my boyfriend and I am so ready to show him why I love SoCal!

This is a great list and beautiful photography! I’ve had a blast exploring San Diego since moving recently, and love a good list to guide me. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind note! April is a great time to be in San Diego. From the area you’re staying in, it’s about a 20-25 minute drive to Torrey Pines. Public transportation, on the other hand, is tricky. I haven’t taken the bus there myself, but a quick Google search tells me it’ll involve a few bus changes and nearly 2 hours of transport time. If renting a car isn’t an option, maybe try Uber? Or just hike around the Balboa Park trails! It’s also a nice walk to Little Italy from where you’ll be staying. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for writing “the list”….It’s fantastic. Going to San Diego in April and just started looking for things to do. We will be staying near the southwest corner of Balboa Park and was wondering about public transportation to get around as we won’t have a car. Would we be able to get to Torrey Pines? Thanks

San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival is a must if you’re in the area in November. You buy a ticket and you get unlimited food, wine, and craft beer for the weekend. The venue is gorgeous and it’s right on the Bay. I started the weekend with a Private Reserve tasting on the Hornblower. I had dinner cooked by a celebrity chef during the live auction. I finished the weekend off with a few rounds to the vendors to rate the wines, beer, and culinary treats. All of the clients I’ve ever taken to the event have had an absolute blast. Highly recommended! http://www.sandiegowineclassic.com/

Hi Lynsea, I recommend taking either the North or South Fork trail and following it to the Broken Hill trail, which will take you to the beach. Thanks for reading!
