Travel Info

Travel Tips
You can drive to the top of Mt. Soledad in La Jolla for a great view of the city and the coast.

An inexpensive bay cruise is the Bahia Belle which travels back and forth between two sister hotels on Mission Bay. (http://www.sandiego-romantics.com/san-di... I went about a year ago and it only cost $6 per person. There's live music and drinks are sold.

Hiking and biking are fun and inexpensive as well. You can hike to Cedar Falls and swim under the waterfall or Torrey Pines north of La Jolla is another nice place to hike and enjoy the ocean views.

Be sure to watch a San Diego sunset. Visit this site to find out about best places for watching the sun glide into the ocean: http://www.sandiego-romantics.com/romant...

La Jolla tide pools - Go down to the tide pools and see all the marine life inside the little pools, then do a sunset picnic on the beach.

Birch Aquarium - Attend the aquarium during one of the daily "feeding schedules" and watch them feed the sharks and other species of animals.
