Mission Beach is comparable to Venice Beach of Los Angeles -- eccentric, hippy, wildly itself, and always fun. It's also jam packed with fun bars and restaurants making it our favorite beach in San Diego.

Coronado is likely the cleanest and 'fanciest' feeling beaches in San Diego. It requires taking the coronado bridge to get there -- which is a treat within itself. We recommend picking a spot close to the famous Hotel Del Coronado hotel which features an easily accessible icecream parlor and there are often sand castle sculptures on the beach.
