Top Architecture in San Diego

If you're looking for a bite to eat, skip the first few waterfront restaurants. I found a cute taco place tucked away, and the prices were way better, plus the food was delish. Don't settle for the tourist traps!

Check out the local musicians performing in the plaza area. They add a great atmosphere, and sometimes you can see some cool local talent. I ended up staying longer just to enjoy the music!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes; you'll want to walk the pier and explore the beach. The views are beautiful, and you won't want to rush it.

Think about bringing a light jacket; it can get a bit chilly by the water, especially around sunset. I wasn't prepared and ended up freezing!

I recommend checking out the local food joints instead of the expensive restaurants on the pier— some great taco stands are just a short walk away and way cheaper!

Food options are limited inside, so I suggest bringing a snack or checking out a nearby café first. I overlooked this and wished I had a bite while exploring
