Who can beat San Diego at summer time.  So many great things to explore including:

1) The San Diego Zoo

2) San Diego Botanical Garden

3) La Jolla Cove

What are your favorite places?

Celina Zamora July 17, 2018

I love all those places @Mark Livingstone (San Diego)! My other faves are Balboa Park and any beach by Torrey Pines. So beautiful.

I love that you mentioned the Botanical Garden! Such a hidden gem

Wow  @Marcia Biggar, so impressed! I can paddleboard, but cannot imagine being balanced enough to also do yoga- bay or ocean!

Erica_Garcia July 31, 2018

I too am impressed! I can paddleboard but cannot yoga even on land haha

1) Swimming at La Jolla Cove ... I saw a sea turtle yesterday. How can you beat that? 

2) Spectating from the terrace at the Torrey Pines Gliderport. 

3) Biking down the Silver Strand.

Can't beat San Diego..so much fun stuff to do!

Celina Zamora July 31, 2018

Wow, I'm in awe about seeing a sea turtle! Also, Gliderport is one of my favorite places. I'm seriously missing San Diego with all these amazing responses. 

Erica_Garcia July 31, 2018

I am going to plan to explore with my girls - how did I attend UCSD all those years ago with never visiting Gliderport!?!

Chelsey Rogers July 31, 2018

@Erica_Garcia I recommend that you check the wind conditions to make sure that people are flying before heading over there. http://gliderport.thilenius.com/#/Home

Great tip - thanks @Chelsey Rogers!

1) Surf, because it is San Diego.

2) Early morning hike up Iron mountain.

3) Bouldering around Mt. Woodson.

Celina Zamora July 31, 2018

These sound amazing, @Joshua Platt! Where do you surf? I learned and used to surf in Leucadia...waaaay back when. 

Joshua Platt July 31, 2018

@Celina ZamoraThere is a little secret spot in Solana. Not the best waves, but also never crowded.

Celina Zamora July 31, 2018

Wait, I need to know this spot for my next visit :) 

Joshua Platt July 31, 2018

It is near Fletcher cove. https://goo.gl/maps/KB1w2gz6gPy

@Celina Zamorayou should petition for the next US Summit to be in San Diego ;) You can use this thread as a nice "hey this place would be cool" starter pack.
