Take a Bayfront Walk or Bike Ride
Head out for a Bayfront Walk or Bike Ride along the scenic Embarcadero. The route features public art installations, green spaces, shops, and stunning water views. Want to plan the rest of your day? Visit Seaport Village to discover dining, shopping, experiences, and events.
Hit the Beach
If you’re extending your trip, take advantage of San Diego’s beautiful coastline. Don’t forget to pack layers since San Diego’s coastal breeze can cool things down in the evenings, even after a sunny day.
