Coastal California travel guide

Coastal California - San Diego (Chapter)

This is the San Diego chapter from Lonely Planet’s Coastal California guidebook.

Whether it’s a battle-tested docent sharing stories on the USS Midway or a no-worries surf diva helping you catch a wave, folks in San Diego are pretty willing to share the good life.

  • explore Balboa Park, the nation’s largest urban cultural park, then go for margaritas on the lively Spanish-style patio of the Prado
  • maps
  • wander the 4-acre flight deck and get lost in the snaking corridors of the USS Midway, an impressive aircraft carrier parked along the Embarcadero
  • transportation
  • restaurants and accommodations
  • kayak through the eerily beautiful sea caves along the coast of La Jolla Cove

Coverage includes: Sights, Activities, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking, Entertainment, Shopping, Getting There & Away, Getting Around, North County Coast, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Encinitas, Carlsbad and Oceanside.
