Things to Do in San Diego
San Diego Zoo and Safari Park
This 100-acre establishment is one of the most famous zoos in the country.
The San Diego Zoo is one of the largest zoos in the U.S.A. It is home to
one of the largest collections of rare & endangered animals in the
world (3,500 to be exact). Giant pandas, giraffes, elephants, polar bears,
and koalas (the largest collection outside of Australia) are just a few of
the many animals that call the San Diego Zoo home. The exhibits are linked
by an expansive series of trails such as the Monkey Trail, Hippo Trail or
Tiger Trail. On these designated pathways, you will come face to face with
numerous exciting creatures including hippos in the Lost Forest, arctic
foxes in the Northern Frontier, rhinos in the Urban Jungle or gators in the
Wegeforth Bowl. You will need plenty of energy - and a map - to see
everything the zoo has to offer. Should your feet grow weary while
exploring, the zoo offers a 35-minute guided bus tour of the park.
There is also the Skyfari aerial tram that transports visitors from one end
of the park to the other, offering a birds-eye- view of the exhibits below
in between. In addition to plenty of animals to see, the zoo also hosts
animal shows and animal encounter programs daily as well as 4-D movie
theaters with educational films about the wildlife. If you want more of the
zoo, head about 32 miles north to the Safari Park in Escondido. Here you
can view some of Africa's most beloved animals - including lions, elephants
and cheetahs - roaming free (well, relatively). There is also meerkats,
zebras, gorillas and bald eagles, to name a few. True to its name, the park
offers a variety of different safaris, including a zipline safari and a
caravan safari.
Torrey Pines State Reserve
Want to see what San Diego looked like at its founding? It is at the Torrey
Pines State Reserve. This oceanfront reserve features 1,750 acres of
unspoiled land, protecting the unique topography and various types of flora
present from way back when, including the Torrey Pine, America's rarest
pine tree. There are 3,000 Torrey Pines in the reserve alone and aside from
San Diego, the only other place in the country the pines grow is on Santa
Rosa Island off the coast of Santa Barbara. The reserve also houses one of
Southern California's last salt marshes and waterfowl refuges. What does
that mean for you? Plenty of hiking opportunities (8 miles to be exact).
Trails offer a chance to get up close and personal
with the attraction's famously beautiful sandstone ravines and badlands as
well as breathtaking views of the coastline. And if you come during the
spring, you will see wildflowers on full display. Popular trails include
the brief Guy Fleming Trail (0.7 miles round trip), which features two
ocean overlooks, and the longer Razor Point Trail (1.4 miles round trip),
which tours more of the sandstone geological features of
the reserve. There is also the beach trail that leads to Torrey Pines
stunning stretch of shore. Of all San Diego's beaches, a long walk along
Torrey Pines State Beach is a must simply for its views of the towering
sandstone cliffs that border it. Keep in mind that along these bluffs there
are no lifeguards on duty and the ocean can be rough, so swim at your own
risk. Also, the cliffs can be unstable, so set up close to the shore.
Coronado Beach
Compared to Mission Beach, this popular shoreline boasts fewer sunbathers
and calmer waves. Just across the bay from San Diego, Coronado Beach is
popular with families and couples alike thanks to its miles-long shoreline
(affording plenty of room for beachgoers), clean sands, peaceful atmosphere
and idyllic location in the Crown City (in Spanish, & Coronado (means
crowned one). While you won't have access to a bustling boardwalk (like
that at Mission Beach), you will have plenty of picturesque scenery to
admire (besides the surf): magnificent mansions sit behind the beach on
Ocean Boulevard. And the historic Hotel del Coronado - a 130-year- old
National Historic Landmark - is perched just beyond the sand. When you are
not boogie boarding or building a sand castle, heed the advice of recent
visitors and simply walk the 1.5-mile- long shoreline. Even if you are
visiting San Diego during the city's winter season (December through
February) when the water is a little too chilly for swimming, you should
still plan to make a stop here for the scenery. And if you enjoy ice
skating, the Hotel Del offers the unique opportunity to ice skate right
along the beach.
Best Time to Fly to San Diego
The best times to visit San Diego are the months between March through May
and September through November. San Diego experiences the most rainfall
during the winter months, so a day at the beach is out of the question
during this time.
