This beach is a perfect destination for families with children as the waves are ideal for boogie boarding and wave jumping. It's also a great spot for surfing enthusiasts. The presence of a large lifeguard station ensures safety for all. A leisurely walk along the shore to the Scripps Pier is a must-do activity. The beach also offers two bathrooms, a grassy area, and a spacious playground for kids to enjoy.

This location boasts breathtaking scenery that will leave you in awe. Although it can get crowded during peak season, the stunning skies make it all worth it. Be sure to stay until sunset, as it is a sight you won't want to miss. There is a charming village nearby with an abundance of shops and restaurants. My personal favorite dining spot is Barbarella's due to their diverse menu. For a laid-back drink, Shore Rider is the perfect spot with delicious margaritas. A new market with cute decor, home goods, and food is also nearby. In the morning, I love to grab tea and açai bowls from Brick and Bell. This area is easily walkable and even has a playground for children. Kayak rentals and cave tours are available, with Groupon offering great deals. The ocean is perfect for swimming, as the waves are not too big, but be cautious of stingrays and follow the lifeguards' instructions. Pay attention to the yellow and black checkered flag, as it indicates where swimmers and surfers should be. Take a moment to look around and enjoy all this location has to offer.

The beach is simply lovely with a stunning vista of the endless ocean. However, it can get quite congested at times and finding a parking spot can be a bit of a challenge. Nevertheless, the hassle is well worth it for the breathtaking experience that awaits you.

I am absolutely smitten with this beach! I had the pleasure of visiting in 2018 and was so enamored that I simply had to return. It is an absolute must-visit if you find yourself in San Diego. The area boasts an abundance of shopping and dining options, making it the perfect destination for a day spent soaking up the sun and indulging in some retail therapy. Needless to say, I am head-over-heels in love with this beach and cannot recommend it enough. Be sure to follow me on Instagram @dr.riley15_ for more of my glowing reviews!
