From amusement parks to works of art, there's plenty to see and do in San Diego.

With San Diego’s epic coastline, beachy culture, and love of craft beer and cocktails, you’d better believe it has its share of beachfront bars. When the moment (whether it’s brunch, sunset, or anything in between) calls for an unobstructed ocean view and a beverage, head to one of these spots. They don’t lack for finger lickin’ grub, either, so you’re covered there, too.

San Diego punches well above its weight when it comes to restaurants and chefs with heavy-hitting credentials. A "Top Chef" winner? Yep, we have one. Master French Chef? That, too. James Beard honors and nominations? Too many to count. And that extreme rarity, a restaurant with three Michelin stars? You better believe it. Here are but a few of the proudest sons, daughters and kitchens of San Diego.

A gigantic aquatic playground, Mission Bay is ideal for just about every kind of watersport, from sailing and SUPing to jet skiing and kayaking. It also has 27 miles of park- and beach- lined shores which are perfect for sunbathing, playing beach volleyball, and picnicking. Cyclists and runners will fall in love with the paved, 12-mile long path that winds around the bay and along the beachfront boardwalk. With resorts, theme parks, restaurants, and 19 miles of beaches, everyone will find a few reasons to love Mission Bay. Here are just a handful of them.
