Visit a Microbrewery. San Diego has become world renowned for its microbreweries, with over 150 in the county. If you are feeling thirsty, head over to visit one and see how beer is made after which you can quench your thirst with a pint. Better yet, sign up for a beer tour so you can get around safely. |

Bike Ride along the Boardwalk. My favorite thing to do in San Diego is to ride my bike along Mission bay with my Jack Russell Terrier, Sharkey, leading the way. Once we hit the end of the isle, then it’s Mission beach for another couple miles due north to Pacific Beach. This ride is a spectacle of beautiful sites, watching the waves, and plenty of people watching along the way!!! World Famous has great tacos and people watching if you get hungry along the way. |

Adventure in Legoland. For families with children, Legoland in Carlsbad is a fun way to spend the day. It’s a theme park with activities for kids, and enough food and shopping to keep the parents entertained. What does it feel light to float in the air, sailing above the beautiful cliffs and beaches of La Jolla? The Torrey Pines Gliderports allow amateurs to experience this thrill. You don’t need training or classroom instruction—just show up and you won’t believe how easy it is to experience this thrill. |

Altitude Sky Lounge is the best rooftop bar in San Diego. On the 22nd level of the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp, it’s the perfect place to unwind with expansive views of Petco Park, downtown, and Coronado Island. |

I recommend taking the Ferry from the Embarcadero in downtown across to Coronado. Only $7 round trip, and a quick 15 minute ride. Be sure to sit on the upper deck for the best views- downtown skyline, sail boats, navy ships, and bridges are amazing! Try renting a bike on the Ferry landing and biking over to the Hotel Del Coronado for some lunch on the beach! |

Take a Walk on the Boardwalk. One of the most entertaining things to do while in San Diego would be head to Pacific Beach to take a walk on the boardwalk from Crystal Pier to South Mission Beach. You will see amazing sunsets every night and if you’re lucky you will see the famous Green Flash. On your walk, you are guaranteed to see an eclectic blend of surfers, locals and many other tourists from around the world flocked to this picturesque Southern CA past time of enjoying the beach life. With a surreal backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and miles of famous Southern CA beach, this walk is one of the most enjoyable times you will experience while in San Diego. If you get tired, there are dozens of places to stop and enjoy some fish tacos or even a margarita. The total trip is approximately 5 miles roundtrip from Crystal Pier to South Mission Beach, so bring your walking shoes or flip flops and do not forget your bathing suit if you need to cool down and jump in the ocean. September is widely known to be the best month of the year so enjoy!!!! |
