Panoramic views of the ocean are the best in town. Request seating on the outdoor terrace (don't worry, they have heaters during cold weather). I recommend booking in advance. Great for lunch or a sunset dinner. The fish tacos are awesome!

Great beach bar and beachfront dining. One of the nicer places to eat in Pacific Beach, but it won't break your bank. This is my favorite spot in the summer because they offer free 3 hour valet parking - so you can grab a drink and some food, than cruise the beach for a few hours.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, and incredible signature cocktails. This gem is located in the heart of little Italy - a must-see neighborhood. I recommend taking an "Uber" from the house - its less than $10 each way, and you'll avoid trying to find parking or paying for an expensive valet.

Drive to the top of the park and hike down to the ocean - one of the most breathtaking hikes around! If you head left after making it to the beach, you can hike around the corner and you'll find miles of beach with very few people. This is a great getaway, and yes - you can be nude! (don't worry, if you just hike the state park beach you won't be surprised by anyone in their birthday suit!).

If you grew up in the 80's, be prepared for a blast from the past. The bar is surrounded by your favorite arcade games from your childhood. Drinks and food are also awesome. If you want to bring the family to play video games, go earlier in the day when its less crowded.
