Where are the places that are gorgeous in San Diego? Looking for beautiful architecture, views above the sea etc. Thanks!
Mentioned in this answer:
Point Loma is spectacular- it's a national park with $5/car admission but beautiful sea views and history. Easily combined with Coronado (California) and Harbor Excursion as previously mentioned. Balboa Park is a must see.
Mentioned in this answer:
Agree with April and Casey plus: Coronado (California) and Old Town San Diego State Historic Park (touristy, but it's the "birthplace of California") and the Gaslamp Quarter..
Mentioned in this answer:
The view of the city from Shelter Island after dark is spectacular. The harbor cruise is worth your time. The Hotel Del Coronado is a historic beachfront property just across the bridge on Coronado Island. Go there for lunch, check out the beach and the many photos of celebrities who've stayed there. The beachfront suburb of La Jolla is very nice. Nearby you'll find Black's Beach where nudists frolic.
Mentioned in this answer:
While you are in the San Diego area you must visit La Jolla which is about 15 minutes from downtown San Diego. It is a beautiful beach community with some great little restaurants and spectacular views. Perfect place to watch the sunset.
Balboa Park, Torrey Pines State Park, top of Cowles Mountain and Iron Mountain Trail Head, Cabrillo National Monument, Centennial Park, Sunset Cliffs
Some of the prettiest spots in SD!
