Windansea Beach
A unique beach, this shorebreak beach is known for its legendary crashing waves. We highly reccomend learning to wake skate in these conditions.
Parking can be tough as it is all street parking, so we reccoemnd avoiding the weekends and sunsets if you can.

Din Tai Fung
The top dog of dumpling houses in San Diego. Yes its a chain, but wow they do a good job. House made dumplings perfectly twisted every time are the main order, but don't skip out on the other gems.
The wait here is bad, no way around it. Make a reservation a month in advance.

Raised by Wolves
Recently awarded on the best bars in the world. Raised By Wolves is a corner stone of the San Diego bar scene. Located inside a liquor store/bottle shop. Raised By Wolves has one of the most unique entrances to a bar I've ever seen. The entire door rotates straight out of a Scooby Doo show.
This immaculate bar has a very cozy, library vibe and is a fantastic date choice.
Reservations are highly encouraged through the link below.
The menu changes very frequently so it's hard to give recommendations ask your bartender for a recommendation off what you normally drink.
