As a college student, a high school student, an employed individual or simply a weekend visitor, it can be difficult to decide how exactly to spend those glorious two days off after a week of work, chores and stressors.
Especially in San Diego, where there are endless options for activities to participate in and sights to be seen.
I've compiled a list of the 5 best San Diego weekend adventures. So the next time you're in the mood for something novel and exciting, try one of these:
1. Cabrillo National Monument
Tucked away in Point Loma, this national monument extends as a beautiful peninsula, offering sea caves for some novice spelunking, a light tower and museum full of history, and scenic views overlooking the city. Visiting provides the opportunity to learn about San Diego's past while enjoying unrivaled scenery.
2. Ho Chi Minh Trail
Somewhat hidden in La Jolla Farms, this unique hike takes you through a collection of beautiful obstacles to one of San Diego's finest beaches. Crossing a wooden plank, maneuvering through stone tunnels and ending the short voyage with a rope to aid in transcending down a steep cliff, the walk is fairly interactive and full of epic views.
3. Adobe Falls
Near San Diego State University, a sequestered urban water fall resides just off the freeway. Full of graffiti, the falls represent a colorful mixture of natural and fabricated beauty.
4. Hillcrest and Little Italy Farmer's Markets
Every Saturday morning Little Italy hosts a magnificent farmer's market packed with vendors sharing all forms of goods from fresh produce to Turkish wraps to authentic crafts. Hillcrest also has one on Sunday late mornings. While there are many farmer's markets throughout the week in San Diego, these provide the most variety and convenient weekend hours.
5. Torrey Pines Glider Port
A slightly more elevated ocean view than most of the other beaches, the glider port has incredible cliffs and various paths to hike around. You also can enjoy watching the hang gliders as they depart and fly around the coast.
