Mission Beach is a spotless beach in San Diego with lots to do. From a classic boardwalk and fun amusement park to hoops, sand volleyball, fishing or just kicking back, you can fill a whole week and never do the same activity twice.

No. 7: Bask in the San Diego Sun

Let’s start with an entire day at the beach. San Diego is all about that beach life – and with good reason. Sun, sand and water will put anyone in a good mood, and Mission Beach is exactly what most vacationers are looking for. Find a good spot, plop down your oversized beach towel, prepare an icy beverage and kick back with a good book or podcast while the kids frolic in the ocean or build sandcastles. Sunbathe, swim, or engage in a nearly endless list of beach and water sports.

Closing in on a Cure – Susan G. Komen in San Diego

The Susan G. Komen Foundation has two amazing events in San Diego each year: the Race for the Cure and the San Diego 3-Day. (Photo courtesy Komen San Diego.)

San Diego hosts two premier events each year that support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which uses proceeds from the events to fund breast cancer research, screenings and awareness. The hugely popular Race for the Cure is a 5K walk/run through downtown San Diego that takes place in early November each year and attracts a big crowd of pink-clad participants. Many of the runners, joggers and walks are motivated to complete the 3.1 miles in support of a family member or close friend who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or because they themselves have suffered from it.

While the Race for the Cure is great way to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, those who want to make an even bigger splash sign up for the 3-Day. The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is a 60-mile trek through San Diego that is spread over three consecutive days. Participants are tasked with raising $2,300 for the foundation to earn the privilege of walking an average of 20 miles a day from the start on Friday until the finish line on Sunday.

Consider staying after the event or arrive early!

When you’re in San Diego, don’t miss a live music performance at one of the city’s best venues. San Diego is known as “America’s Finest City” because of its vibrant culture, exciting events, never-ending sunshine and perfect weather. The music scene in the city falls right in step, offers everything from large music stages like the Sleep Train Amphitheater and Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay, to cozy, intimate music houses like the Belly Up Tavern, Casbah and the House of Blues.

One of the benefits of hosting entertainment in a city with a climate like San Diego’s is that it’s much easier to hold outdoor events. From spring through late fall, the evenings are balmy and comfortable, and on the rare night that temperatures drop below 65, getting cozy under a blanket is half the fun.
