Hit the beach: Some of our favorites are Windansea, Law Street Beach and Marine Street

Hike at Torrey Pines State Reserve: One of our favorite hikes to bring visitors to- it offers stunning cliff views, ocean vistas and a variety of trails.

Enjoy the sunset: Some of our favorites are Calumet park in Birdrock- down the street from our house, Windansea beach, La Jolla tide pools, and a short drive away the Gliderport in Torrey Pines.
