Pedal to more than ten public parks and two wildlife reserves that are popular for picnicking, swimming, throwing the Frisbee, and more. Here are some of the best bike paths in San Diego to explore.
Whale Watching in Point Loma (5.1 Miles from Hotel)
If you want to experience the thrill of whale watching during your spring adventure in San Diego, the cliffs in Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma are a great place to see them just offshore. The old Point Loma lighthouse offers the best view for whale-watchers to see the graceful creatures migrating south. Be sure to keep a lookout west, to your left, over the ocean from the Cabrillo National Monument for the best views. Such an amazing way to spend a spring day in San Diego.
Go Tide Pooling at Cabrillo National Monument (5.5 Miles from Hotel)
Best explored at low tide, the local tide pools, shallow pools of ocean water that are filled with sea and plant life, offer an up-close and personal view of sea treasures. These “intertidal zones” are typically located close to the coast where the water and land meet. The tide pools San Diego locals enjoy most contain a variety of different sea creatures, including starfish, octopus, sea anemones, barnacles, sea urchins, crabs, sea stars, and more. Also known to make an appearance in local tide pools are seashells, small fish, and sea hare snails. Explore the area just past the lighthouse, known as the sandstone cliffs, as their rocky coastal shelf is home to many different fish, plants, crabs, barnacles, mussels, and even lobsters and is a great way to spend the day!
Kayaking Through La Jolla’s Sea Caves (11.6 Miles from Hotel)
There is truly no better way to explore San Diego’s magnificent Pacific Ocean coast than by kayak. Spend the day kayaking through La Jolla’s Sea Caves for the ultimate spring adventure.

Also, visit 5 different types of marine environments, including sandy beaches, rocky reefs, sea cliffs, a kelp forest, and deep-water canyons blooming with spring flowers. Enjoy one of the most popular San Diego activities at the La Jolla Sea Caves.

Hiking Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve (18.0 Miles from Hotel)
Home to the nation’s rarest pine tree, Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is a wilderness island that offers an amazing place for a spring hike to see the unique natural features the area has to offer.
