The Coast

A great day trip outside the city of limits of San Diego is not complete with an afternoon in La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, or Encinitas. Each of these towns on the north coast of San Diego County offer beautiful views of the grand Pacific Ocean. Along the way you find the famous Southern California beach culture. Make sure you enjoy some great pizza at Pizza Port (PizzaPort.com) and some amazing surfing spots.
