Looking for a stateside vacation destination? Head to San Diego for an inexpensive vacation idea! Tons of activities and white sandy beaches will make you feel like you spent a fortune on your vacation!

Old Town Market

Located in historic downtown San Diego, the Old Town Market comes complete with historic shops and restaurants. In fact, I got one of my favorite sundresses at a shop in Old Town! While you’re here make sure that you eat at Old Town Mexican Cafe. It’s just as delicious as you would assume!

San Diego Zoo

One of the largest zoos in the country, the San Diego Zoo is home to both lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! But that isn’t all! Expect to see Hippos, Penguins, and Lemurs. Growing up, I saw the biggest tourtiouse here! If that old guy is still around, make sure you tell him hello from me!

Belmont Park

It’s not a California vacation if you don’t spend some time at a beachfront amusement park! Belmont Park is located in Mission Bay, and is open year round. However, vacationers should be warned that most of the rides are closed during the winter season, and the park often closes early around the off season. Aside from rides, you can do some shopping and get something to eat. Sometimes, there are even exercise classes available.

La Jolla Beach

Tucked in between gorgeous sandstone cliffs, La Jolla Cove is one of the most photographed areas in San Diego. The beach is gorgeous, but due to it’s picturesque scenery, expect to find a large crowd. During some seasons, heavy foot traffic can also leave behind garbage on the beach. Plan your visit accordingly, and always ask a local before you go!
