A Complete Guide to San Diego Surfing

Surfing in San Diego is a big deal. The warm Pacific waters off the coast of San Diego have provided many an opportunity to hang 10 – from seasoned old surf hounds to newbies just getting their feet wet. San Diego has some challenging waves and some more mild parts, so it’s easy to progress as a surfer as you continue to get better.

Surfing is also terrific exercise and an ideal way to bond with nature and catch some rays simultaneously. But, more than that, surfing is a lifestyle – one that perfectly encapsulates just about every aspect of SoCal living. If you’re coming to San Diego for vacation and have never tried surfing, you should give it a whirl. It could be the ride of a lifetime. We have beachfront vacation rental homes and villas for rent that are steps from the ocean and beautiful condos only minutes from the beach.

Discovering San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter and Downtown Neighborhoods

San Diego is best known for its amazing coast and awesome beaches, but its unparalleled downtown is the pulse of the city. The urban core is where most of the cultural attractions are located, along with unmatched dining, beautiful parks and open spaces, trendy shopping, and arenas, stadiums and theaters where you can catch a movie, performance or athletic event. Vacationers who want to be in the middle of the action should consider a private home or condo rental with San Diego Coast Rentals that is near the Gaslamp Quarter or another downtown neighborhood.

While you’re sure to spend a great deal of time at the beach, be sure to schedule a day or two to explore downtown San Diego. You certainly don’t want to miss a trip to the iconic San Diego Zoo or SeaWorld San Diego. There’s also iconic Balboa Park, the U.S.S. Midway Museum, the New Children’s Museum, or you can catch a San Diego Padres game at Petco Park. With plenty of places to eat, shop and discover, downtown San Diego offers something for independent travelers, romantic couples, a group of friends, and families with younger children, teenagers, or adult children.

SeaWorld Closing in on Diamond Anniversary

SeaWorld San Diego turned the Big 5-0 back in 2014, and has continued to prosper with new exhibits and attractions as the timeless tourist attraction marches toward its diamond celebration (60 years) in 2024. Is SeaWorld on your San Diego vacation hit list? If not, it certainly should be! San Diego Coast Rentals offers vacation rentals nearby – from studio apartments and bungalows to five-bedroom private homes and townhomes.

SeaWorld opened in 1964 and was the first aquatic theme park of its kind in the United States, presenting dolphin shows, rides, educational programs and other attractions. The park was anchored by its one-of-a-kind whale exhibition featuring Shamu, a killer whale. (Additional parks would later open in Orlando and San Antonio.) Over the years, the park established itself as a leader in marine research, rescues and recuperations, and educating visitors about the importance of the oceans.

Sesame Place San Diego opens in March 2022. There will be seven themed rides from the popular children’s show, along with 11 water attractions and a half-million-gallon wave pool, the largest in Southern California. (Rendering courtesy SeaWorld Entertainment)
