From sun up to sun down, San Diego’s Pacific Beach boasts some of the best dining and experiences around. A perfect embodiment of the famously chill vibe of San Diego, PB has something for everyone – kids to adults. So many choices can be overwhelming, so we created our perfect PB day so that everyone – tourists and locals alike – can enjoy a complete day of beach bumming it.
Good Morning, Pacific Beach!
We like to start our day with a breakfast burrito. San Diego’s world-renowned Mexican food doesn’t just satiate the tastebuds of afternoon lunch-goers or nighttime snackers. We like to start early with a Carne Asada Breakfast Burrito from Truckstop. Truckstop is conveniently located directly next to the boardwalk, which means we can grab our food and sit on the beach to watch the early birds catch some waves before the crowd rolls in.
Strolling the Boardwalk
PB’s 3.2-mile boardwalk attracts just about every mode of transportation you can think of. We like to bring our beach cruisers out and go for a ride, people-watching and wave-watching. There are plenty of bike rental shops along the boardwalk that offer reasonable prices. Check out some of the beachfront restaurants and sit down for a boardwalk bite. Sometimes, in the thick of the summer, the boardwalk can get crowded, so be mindful of people around you when biking or skating.
Sunset Activities
Once the crowd starts clearing off the beach, we recommend a sunset swim. During the summer, lifeguards are on duty until the sun goes down, so be sure to exit the water before they go off duty. After a nice dip, we head on over to Flamingo Deck for some delicious pizzas and espresso martinis!
PB Nights
Nighttime is when PB truly comes alive, with dozens of bars all within walking distance of each other. We love the “Red Bull Slushie” at Shore Club or to dance the night away at Waterbar. If you’re craving some house music, PB Avenue has local EDM DJs every night and offers the perfect scene for a light night out.
Whatever your vibe is, Pacific Beach has it! Stop by Truckstop while you’re in town for some great grub while you explore!
