Best Vacation Beaches in San Diego

If you're looking to vacation in San Diego but consider yourself a rookie when it comes to your knowledge of the destination, there are a few beaches that make the cut when enjoying the best of the city. The beaches are one of the best reasons to visit San Diego for the 70-degree weather and close-knit communities near the ocean. Here are a few locations to visit if you want to meet new people and spot a few sunsets from the sand!

Coronado Beach

Coronado Beach is a quaint spot that is tucked away on its own small island in San Diego. The beach offers stunning views of the sunset for a clean and peaceful environment that is often littered with elaborate sandcastles. Here, you'll find the Hotel Del Coronado right on the sand, as well as several high-end restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops that are all within walking distance. Visitors will find both helicopters and planes flying overhead throughout the day, as well as an overall quiet location that is often deserted during the week.

In the winter, ice skating is available right on the sand for families to enjoy through the services of the Hotel Del.

Mission Beach

Known for its delicious pizza slices and wooden rollercoaster, Mission Beach is a family-friendly location that boasts a fun boardwalk and several shops. The location is a place to find break dancers, beach clothes, and carnival rides for a San Diegan beach that offers more than just the sand.

Mission Beach is more popular among college students due to its fun and lively environment that is known as a great place to practice longboarding, tanning, and jogging on the sand. It's often crowded on the weekends, but can be relaxing throughout the week. Lifeguards are also always on watch for those who want to swim or surf for an area that is safe.
