7 Compelling Reasons to Stay an Extra Day

Come early or stay late to enjoy all San Diego has to offer

With San Diego’s near-perfect year-round weather, miles of stunning shoreline, booming craft beer scene, fascinating cultural attractions and vibrant neighborhoods, your attendees are sure to run out of time before they run out of things to do. So, while they’ll find lots to love about San Diego each meeting day, there’s always a new reason to add on another day, and another, and another.

Kayaking at La Jolla Shores

Get Beachy

Swim, surf or sunbathe all year long

From sunrise to sunset, San Diego’s 70 miles of beautiful coastline deliver more than Instagram-worthy spots. Learn to surf, explore on a kayak, go tidepooling, bike along the boardwalk, or simply relax on the sand.

Balboa Park

Explore Balboa Park

Cultural hub of San Diego

With its 17 museums, attractions and lush gardens, the best way to explore the wonders of this gem is with a one-day or multi-day Balboa Park Explorer Pass, offering unlimited admission so you can try them all. There’s even a version that includes admission to the adjacent, and world-famous, San Diego Zoo.

Piazza della Famiglia in Little Italy, San Diego

Explore San Diego “Local” Neighborhoods

Each colorful and unique

Torrey Pines Golf Course, La Jolla

Hit the Greens

Stunning landscapes and challenging play

San Diego Craft Brewing Scene

Hop on a Beer Tour

Pleasure by the pint

With more than 150 breweries, anywhere you find yourself in San Diego, there’s an opportunity to get hoppy.
