So far I have in mind: Mission Bay Beach, La Jolla, Coronado, Balboa Park, any other suggestions? I'm looking for mainly a nice beach, and somewhere really scenic and nice... Let me know what you think of these places or if you have any better ideas. Thanks!!

the places you've picked are some of the better ones in san diego i love la jolla my husband and i had our first date there and i got proposed to there (well at the cove anyway ) they also have a hang glidding place there and scripps aquarium is there also. if your into golf (it's expensive ) but they have a pga golf corse there too. the only other beachs i like are carlsbad ( way further north ) . they aren't to crowded, Coronado is small, mission bay has many things sea world & close to the zoo , balboa park in down the freeway from mission bay so you could try to do both, Del mar is good but the one way stips make parking hard to fine, You could alway just drive the coast highway there are lots of places to eat along it

Balboa Park for sure....more for the buildings than the plants. If you're there on Sunday they have a free outdoor organ concert every Sunday. Coronado or La Jolla are both great beaches. The downtown La Jolla area reminds me a lot of the French Riviera. Coronado, with the Del, is really special, though. Both are nice...but I'd go with Coronado if I had to choose.

If you want the Baywatch experience with access to beachy-type shopping, dive bars and cheap eats, try Mission Beach or Pacific Beach. For a beautiful 'day at the beach' experience, La Jolla Shores is a good bet. But don't miss the La Jolla Cove - you can start your day with breakfast and shopping a short drive away in the 'Village' section of La Jolla. Coronado has the widest and cleanest beaches, but you'll miss some of the charm of the other sections of town. For dinner and nightlife, try downtown. Since you're short on time, skip Balboa Park and the zoo.

La jolla is a must see.The beaches are beautiful.Dont miss the childrens beach with the seals.Coronado is also a beautiful, you can see the Navy ships and planes land.Cabrillo National park is also with a beautiful overlook of Coronado. If you go there dont miss the tide pools.Also Old Towne is nice for a low priced meal,(The Alamo has great Guacamole)and if your a ghost hunter dont miss the Whaley House. SD is a great area and the people are friendly.Enjoy!

Coronado has the nicest beach out of all of those in my opinion... Also it has a cute little downtown area with nice restaurants. La Jolla though is the best for dining... really good seafood restaruarants and italian restaureants. Mission Bay Beach is also great for bonfires and if the sky is clear perfect for watching the stars at night. Enjoy!

those are the two marvelous holiday spots. until now I moved to l. a., as quickly as I took a holiday right here, I consistently took an afternoon or 2 for an factor holiday to San Diego. San Diego does not have extremely as mush stuff yet those issues are closed jointly. l. a. has extra stuff to make certain and do yet those issues are very far aside ans you will spend extra time using between them. I advise that in case you're in l. a. for say 6 days that your loved ones visit San Diego for an over nighter as element of the holiday.

Jusst north of La Jolla is Del Mar and I love their beach. Go eat at SWAMI'S five miles north of it. THat would be a really nice way to spend the day. i live there
Balboa park is all right. It is neat to see all the trees and plants...the zoo is sad, i mean it is nice but all those animals in captivity...go to sdweekly.com to see a calendar.maybe a abnd you like will be playing?? i hope you have a nice visit!!
