The Neighborhood:
San Diego's Pacific Beach neighborhood embodies Southern California’s chill vibe. Whether you're headed there to catch some rays, shred waves, or partake in the famous nightlife, PB (as the locals call it) is a constant beach party. That said, there's so much more to PB than revelry-minded college students and young adults. Situated on a stretch of land between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego's man-made “water wonderland” Mission Bay, Pacific Beach is also an ideal base for exploring America's Finest City, given its proximity to major San Diego must-see attractions. From wide, sandy beaches to trendy rooftop bars and fish tacos you'll never forget, here is your guide to Pacific Beach San Diego. After a day of basking in the sun or catching waves, you're bound to work up an appetite. Fortunately most of the best Pacific Beach restaurants are situated mere steps from the beach and boardwalk. Cap off a day of water activities with authentic Milanese pizza at Ambrogio15, or try some locally caught seafood at the stylish JRDN at Tower23. If you're willing to venture off the boardwalk a bit, you'll get a taste of Spain at Costa Brava. The Basque restaurant offers a range of tapas and paellas to enjoy as you listen to the sounds of live flamenco music. For a tasty burger with fries and a pint, pay a visit to the no-frills Rocky's Crown Pub. Pacific Beach has excellent breakfast and brunch options too. Try the apple fritter pancakes and thick-cut brown-sugar bacon on the patio of Fig Tree Cafe or grab a table at the French-inspired La Clochette du Coin, where you can enjoy a cappuccino and a pesto croissant sandwich. At Kono’s Café, diners can enjoy breakfast all day in a fun, surf-themed setting. Pacific Beach's northernmost point, near La Jolla, you'll find Tourmaline Surf Park Beach. With “slow-rollers” aplenty, it's a surfer's paradise. Don't expect to be able to swim there though—on most parts of the beach, that's not allowed. If you're not a surfer, you can still have a blast lounging on the beach and watching some expert shredding and the occasional kitesurfer and windsurfer. After dark, call dibs on one of the fire pits and enjoy s'mores under the stars. The waves calm down a bit south of Tourmaline, where you'll find North Pacific Beach. It's the place to be if you're looking for a relaxing family-friendly beach day. Lifeguards patrol the shores for swimmers, and aspiring surfers can take lessons at the San Diego Surf School. North Pacific Beach is at the head of the neighborhood's 3.2-mile boardwalk, connecting it to the main strip of PB bars and restaurants. Running south along the boardwalk from Crystal Pier to where PB borders Mission Beach, the sandy stretch of Pacific Beach is one of the most popular coastal spots in San Diego. You'll find sunbathers and beach volleyball in addition to a vibrant bar and restaurant scene along the entire boardwalk. You'll also find souvenir shops and places to rent bikes and water-sports equipment. Here you can also sign up for a lesson with the Pacific Beach Surf School. The Bar Scene- You're never far from a hot spot along the Pacific Beach boardwalk. Step off the sand and into one of Mavericks Beach Club's five lively indoor/outdoor bars where you can enjoy a cocktail or a beer, dance, hang out by a fire pit, or people-watch from a rooftop with an ocean view. Try the famous “Red Bull slushie” at PB Shore Club. Dance the night away to house music at PB Avenue. Experience a “Sunday Funday” on the rooftop with sangria in hand at Firehouse Pacific Beach. For a calmer vibe, you can take in stunning ocean views at Waterbar, try one of the award-winning mimosas at Duck Dive, or sip a giant margarita and take sunset pics at El Prez Beach Bar & Cocina. And if you are craving a dive bar–like atmosphere, hit up Thrusters Lounge and play some skeeball.
Getting Around:
Pacific Beach is very walk-able! However a car is the best way to get around San Diego if you'll be exploring places outside of PB. Uber / Lyfts are readily available if you aren't bringing your own car!
