Coastal Neighborhoods

From quaint Coronado and family-friendly Carlsbad to artsy Encinitas and the posh villages of La Jolla and Del Mar, there are tons of things to do in San Diego. Not to mention the 20-something party havens of Pacific Beach and Mission Beach — each seaside town beckons with beautiful beaches and a taste of San Diego's SoCal lifestyle.
