SeaWorld San Diego
500 Sea World DriveSan Diego Zoo
2920 Zoo DrGreat place for hiking and dramatic coastal views. My favorite hike is the Ho Chi Minh trail (start from Torrey Pine's Gliderport). You can hike down to Black's Beach from there -- San Diego's very own nude beach! The Ho Chi Minh trail hike is challenging, you'll have to walk through slot canyons, streams and climb down the side of a rock with a rope. There is a more accessible trail right next to the Gliderport.
