Little Known Places in San Diego!

While searching for ideas of places to explore in my native San Diego, I came across this site that shares some little known places in San Diego. Some of them I've been to or heard of before.. but its a great reminder of the amazing places we can visit in our home town!

Five Unknown Spots in San Diego

Coronado- San Diego's Forgotten Treasure!

Coronado has a special place in my heart because it is where I got engaged! Sometimes I think the beauty of Coronado is forgotten by San Diegans. From the initial drive over the Coronado Bridge to the beauty and magnificence of the Hotel Del, Coronado is one of the most beautiful places in San Diego. The heart of Coronado offers quality restaurants and fun little boutique shops. It’s a great place to spend an afternoon with your friends or significant other. After you’ve spent all of your money on food and fun, take a stroll along the dunes (which in case you didn’t know spell out Coronado!)

This time of year is especially wonderful In Coronado. Have you ever thought about Ice Skating right next to the sand? It may seem crazy but the Hotel Del performs Miracles in December. It can be pricy so if you are there on a budget it is just as fun to watch as it is to skate. Take a walk inside the hotel del and experience the beautiful architecture of the interior accented by a beautifully decorated Christmas Tree. Coronado is definitely the “Crown” of San Diego. 

Old Town Fresh Tortillas!

Old Town is one of my favorite places in San Diego. Not only is it a great place to learn about San Diego’s History but it has some of the best eateries around! Located right across from the historic Whaley House is the Old Town Mexican Café. When you walk to the store front you are greeted by the smell of corn and flour. Take a quick peek inside and you can watch the tortillas being made fresh! You can stop in and sit down for a tasty meal or take your fresh tortillas to go. Old Town has so much to offer. Take some time to go down and explore for yourself.

Mission Trails

If you are looking for a nice distraction go to Mission Trails Regional Park, this park is a hidden gem in the middle of suburbia. This oasis from the hustle and bustle offers lots of hiking, biking, horse riding trails and rock-climbing. Each of those activities comes with spectacular views. I would recommend you start at the Visitor Center. The staff is very friendly and the center offers a wealth of information. This is a great park to visit. So if you are looking for a time out from the daily routine pick up a map and enjoy your day at Mission Trails Regional Park.

Motorcycle Ride!

The weather this past weekend was beautiful. Took a bike ride on the back roads in and out of Julian we had some apple pie at the famous Moms Pies, bought my favorite candy at Candy Basket, and we visited lake Cuyamaca. It was the perfect day for a bike ride.  Can’t wait for The weekends to come to explore other roads San Diego has to offer.
