Bask in the California sunshine at Coronado Beach, where the historic Hotel Del Coronado stands like a Victorian wedding cake by the sea. The world-class San Diego Zoo houses creatures in such natural settings you'll forget they're exhibits. Balboa Park combines Spanish Colonial architecture with museums that could occupy days. Harbour cruises reveal sea lions lounging shamelessly while naval vessels stand at attention. The Gaslamp Quarter serves history alongside fish tacos that demand to be eaten outdoors. La Jolla Cove offers tide pools where marine creatures seem as curious about you as you are about them. For a perfect sunset, head to Sunset Cliffs where locals gather nightly for nature's free show.
