**🌊 Start at the Coast** Begin your San Diego trip at La Jolla Cove, where you can watch sea lions and kayak through sea caves. The Children's Pool beach offers a protected area for snorkeling with leopard sharks in summer. Arrive before 9 a.m. to secure parking along Coast Boulevard. **🏛️ Balboa Park Culture** Balboa Park houses 17 museums, including the San Diego Museum of Art and the Fleet Science Center. The Botanical Building and Lily Pond are free to visit, and the park's Spanish Colonial architecture makes for great photos. On Tuesdays, many museums offer reduced admission for locals. **🐼 World-Famous Zoo** The San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park is home to giant pandas, koalas, and over 3,700 animals. The Skyfari aerial tram gives you a bird's-eye view of the exhibits. Plan to spend at least four hours, and buy tickets online in advance to skip the line. **🍔 Neighborhood Eats** Head to Liberty Public Market for a food hall experience with everything from tacos to ramen. In North Park, try the smash burgers at The Friendly or craft beer at Modern Times. For a classic California burrito, visit Lucha Libre Gourmet Taco Shop in Mission Hills. **⛵ Coronado Island** Take the ferry from Broadway Pier to Coronado for $5 each way and enjoy views of the skyline. The Hotel del Coronado, a Victorian beachfront resort, is a must-see landmark. Rent a bike and ride along the Silver Strand to the Coronado Ferry Landing for shopping and dining. **🌮 Old Town History** Old Town San Diego State Historic Park offers free admission to preserved adobe buildings and museums. Try handmade tortillas at Casa de Reyes or sample margaritas at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. The Whaley House, known as one of America's most haunted houses, offers tours for $15. **🚌 Getting Around** The San Diego Trolley's Blue Line connects downtown, Old Town, and the border. A day pass costs $6 and includes unlimited rides on buses and trolleys. For coastal areas, the 101 bus runs from downtown to La Jolla and Del Mar. **🌅 Sunset Spots** Sunset Cliffs Natural Park offers dramatic ocean views without the crowds of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. Torrey Pines State Reserve has trails that end at the beach, perfect for golden hour photos. Bring a blanket and snacks to Cabrillo National Monument for a panoramic view of the city lights.
