Places To Eat
Fins
Roberto's (lots of locations)
Mexican fast food at its best! Some are open 24 hours and perfect for that
after-concert craving. For something different, try asking for a carne asada
quesadilla (not on the menu).
Belmont Park
Right along the beach, has many shops, eating and the only wooden rollercoaster
designated as a national historic landmark (The Giant Dipper). Take I-5 to
Sea World Drive, exit and go west. Take Ingraham St north, then West Mission
Bay Drive (two complex interchanges). Turn left at Mission Blvd, you'll
see the rollercoaster on the corner. Parking is limited, so try to go earlier
in the day. Parking is free, the rides each cost around $2.
Mt. Soledad
The highest point in San Diego proper, it towers just over 1,000 feet above
sea level. Has a great view of La Jolla and Miramar, and awesome at night!
There is limited parking around the cross at the top, and a lot a little
further down the road. Take 52 West to the end, it turns into Ardath Road.
Take Ardath to Hidden Valley Road and turn left (there is a Denny's to the
right). Turn right at the first stop sign, and follow the yellow dividing line
up the hill. At the top you CANNOT turn left into the park; instead take
the first right and do a U-turn back out.
Sea World
How could you come to San Diego and not see Sea World? Home to Shamu and
many other marine mammals, it's a great place to spend the day. Parking is $4,
admission is $20. Take I-5 to Sea World Drive, exit and head west. It'll
be on the right side a few miles down, just follow the signs.
Stephen Birch Aquarium (formerly Scripps Aquarium)
The old Scripps Aquarium has relocated up the hill, directly across from the
UCSD campus. Lots of beautiful fish, including a huge kelp forest display
and a touch tide pool in the back. Parking is $4, admission is $6. Take I-5 to
La Jolla Village Drive, exit and go west. Continue straight up the hill
through several lights, and follow the signs. It'll be on the left-hand
side.
