I am back at home after a fantastic week in San Diego! This was my first time visiting, and I can see why it’s so popular – it is absolutely gorgeous. While I did spend most of my time there working, I still got to see a bit of all the city has to offer. Here were the highlights:
Hotel: Paradise Point Resort & Spa
What a beautiful resort! I was thrilled when I saw that we would be staying at Paradise Point. The resort is conveniently located only about fifteen minutes away from the airport, while still being accessible to all sorts of activities. We even drove by SeaWorld on our way in! My room was spacious and came with a fridge, and while the resort feels sprawling, it’s quick to walk around – plus, easy access to the beach. I’d definitely stay here again.
Dinner: OB Surf Lodge
Our entire team bussed over to Ocean Beach for dinner at OB Surf Lodge. The staff was very friendly and quick to address things, even though there were probably about 150 of us there. I enjoyed a “daiquirita,” a seasonal summer drink they offer that really dazzled with its blue hue. Plus, the food was great! We had a nice mix of food options, but honestly, my favorite dish was the salt and pepper wings. I’m still talking about them!
Drinks: Miss B’s Coconut Club
A few of us met up with one of our partners for a quick drink when we had a free afternoon. We ended up walking down Mission Beach (got my steps in) and making our way to Miss B’s Coconut Club. Their drink menu had some delightful options, though I will say, the giant flamingo cup stole the show. Note: you’ll need ~3 people to enjoy one of those bad boys, so plan accordingly! You can’t close out your tab until you return the cub.
Walk: Belmont Park
We got lucky because there’s a spring festival happening right now at Belmont Park – “Belmont in Bloom” – but my team would tell you that I was falling all over myself walking along the boardwalk. Not only are there a ton of rides available, but there are also just as many (if not more) adorable photo opps along the way. We stopped into Draft for drinks, and I spent the afternoon soaking in the ocean breeze from my seat. 10/10.
