Great trips to Joshua Tree National Park start here.

My vetted recommendations from 26 years of San Diego dining. A complete guide to the best places to eat and drink in San Diego, no matter your budget, mood or occasion! Perfect for a local or visitor. This comprehensive guide spans the entire county of San Diego and includes my top picks for date nights, views, mexican, sushi, dives, bars, fancy, brunch, bakeries, coffee, chinese, vegan, pizza, wine bars, ramen, ice cream, italian and craft beer! All spots have been personally visited by the SDFoodies team. Each one includes recommendations and must orders.

With temperatures rising for the summer season, we put together a List of some of our favorite coastal campgrounds in California for you to check out and stay cool. A lot of these get booked up pretty far in advance on the weekends, so be sure to check their website before you head out to one of them. If you can’t find a spot for this season, mark a time on your calendar to sag reservation for next season! And remember, you can always check out some of these areas as day trips and spend the night inland or at a nearby site. As always, midweek camping is always the easiest for First Come, First Served or even reservable spots. So take a few days of work and get to the coast!!

This is an ongoing map of all of my favorite hikes in or near San Diego. I've also included some cool places to go that aren't really hikes, but will still get you outside. I'll keep updating this map whenever I do a new hike in the area. Once you've unlocked it, you'll get those updates forever! Each hike contains specific info about what to expect as well as coordinates and trail maps.
