Incredible views! Great food and super cool atmosphere. It's about a 1.5 - 2 mile walk down the beach to Pacific Beach, but it is well worth it. Plus, a walk on the boardwalk or beach is never a bad thing!

Belmont Park is only about a 1/4 mile walk from our condo. I suggest trying to find a Groupon for wrist bands. Groupon is often offering a deal on the wrist bands.

There are so many museums here! Google to find out what museums might interest you. There is a Children's museum that is quite popular. Even if you don't go to a museum, just walking around the grounds is fun. There is a beautiful botanical garden that is free to walk through.
